[..] > Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:993 in > /usr/local/ssl-sm/functions/imap_general.php on line 454 There is no point running IMAPs over localhost. From what I understand, there is only one user that really has the ability to read localhost traffic, and that is root. At which point, if you have somebody sniffing that with root access, you're a little late in security precautions. > I can't have SM connect on port 143 because that is the uw imap server > that is still running. Erm, you do realize courier-imap and uw-imap use a COMPLETELY different mail base? You cannot run them together, unless you want to provide the users of webmail a completely different login system, and message base to those with access to uw-imap. I suggest doing a little research. > Most everything I've found is about making the connection from SM to > the user secure, and I don't care about that at this point (if they > want a secure connection they can bloody well use a regular mail > client, at least until this is all setup correctly and all the > domains are moved over, at which point I can allow localhost > connections to port 143 again) I only need a secure connection from > SM to the IMAP server. You do realise, if they use a mail client, which connects over imap, you're in the same stand point as connecting to imap using squirrelmail... You don't acheive anything, unless you have your uw-imap install setup to use STARTTLS of course. I suggest doing a little more research on what you're trying to achieve, and the mechanisms you're using to go about it. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
