Hi, I need recommendations to install a mailserver on Suse (V8.1).
Try out the imap package (I think it is UW-imap). It contains an imap AND pop3 server. Just enable it in inetd.
I'm new to the list here and this is the subject as to why I joined. I just move my server from RH 7.3 to Suse 8.2. RE: the way uw-imap is built on Suse 8.2, just 'turning it on' didn't work.
That is because you said in your original post you had 8.1. If you would have said 8.2, I would never had said to just enable it. BTW, there is an article about this in the sdb, search for imaps.
Seems the imap rpm is built to force only ssl/tsl connections and there is no imaps block in /etc/xinetd.d/imap so imap runs but imaps does not. If you try to login to imap [port 143] it will refuse as it wants imaps only. I added a block to the above file for imaps, and now netstat shows port 993 [imaps] listening and I can now login if I use ssl on the client or squirrelmail. Drove me crazy for a couple of days.
So I assume you have it working now? It is compiled to only accept plaintext passwords via ssl, or encrypted passwords without ssl. Pop is the same with this package. If you wanted lower security, you could install the package from 8.1, or set your clients to use ssl (and imaps or pops- better security).

Hello ] First of all, I want to apologize for jumping on this thread as I missed that it was regarding Koenraad's 8.1 issue and I have an 8.2 issue and I'm not Koenraad so I think you replied thinking I was Koenraad. I mis-read his 8.1 as 8.2 [it was late] but I do appreciate your explanation relating to Suse 8.2 Thanks Kevin
