I'm a little confused as to why my setup is working the way it is.
In my imap-ssl configuration file, I have these lines:
SSLPORT=993
SSLADDRESS=0
IMAPDSSLSTART=NO
IMAPDSTARTTLS=YES
IMAP_TLS_REQUIRED=0
As I understand things, IMAPDSSLSTART tells Courier to use SSL for IMAP
connections on port 993 and the IMAPDSTARTTLS line tells Courier to use
the TLS protocol on port 143.
I'm using the imapd-ssl.rc file to start Courier and Courier is only
listening on port 993. I've configured my mail clients to use SSL when
imapd-ssl.rc starts imap-over-ssl on port 993 no matter what the
configuration file says. Similar for imapd.rc. They do not use these
variables. They are for a higher level script, such as an initscript, that
checks these variables, and runs or doesn't run imapd.rc/imapd-ssl.rc
accordingly.
What I want to know is, why don't I have to set IMAPDSSLSTART to yes in
the configuration file? What settings would I need to use if I wanted to
use the starttls protocol on port 143?
No settings need to be changed. Run imapd.rc instead of imapd-ssl.rc
