# inetadm does the work, but ipop3d and imap no exist. please, say something Thanxs


hello chupito,

sendmail uses SMF. you may check the status of sendmail:

# svcs svc:/network/smtp:sendmail
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       12:33:32 svc:/network/smtp:sendmail

the above shows that sendmail is stopped. you may start it with:

# svcadm enable svc:/network/smtp:sendmail
# svcs svc:/network/smtp:sendmail
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         12:34:58 svc:/network/smtp:sendmail

# ps -ef |grep sendmail
root 13578 1 0 12:34:59 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m -C /etc/mail/local.cf
    root 13589 13556   0 12:37:05 pts/1       0:00 grep sendmail
smmsp 13581 1 0 12:34:59 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m

# netstat -a |grep smtp
localhost.smtp             *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN

now we see that sendmail is running but remote clients could not connect. this is the default behavior. to change this we have to change the "local_only" SMF property:

# svccfg -s svc:/network/smtp:sendmail listprop config/local_only
config/local_only  boolean  true

now we change the property to false:
# svccfg -s svc:/network/smtp:sendmail setprop config/local_only = false
# svccfg -s svc:/network/smtp:sendmail listprop config/local_only
config/local_only  boolean  false

now restart sendmail:
# svcadm restart svc:/network/smtp:sendmail

# netstat -a |grep smtp
      *.smtp               *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN
      *.smtp               *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN
*.smtp *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN

please check the documentation on how to properly tweak sendmail's configuration for your needs.

solaris 10 (and previous version) did not come with pop3 daemon. i can recommend using Qualcomm's qpopper:

general information can be found here:
http://www.eudora.com/products/unsupported/qpopper/index.html

the latest version is:
ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper/qpopper4.0.9.tar.gz

compilation and use is pretty easy and well explained in the guide:
ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper/GUIDE.pdf


greetings,

Stoyan
