Did you try this SuSE page on Linux 8.2? It is close the changes for the files are already in place for the xinetd files in SuSE 9.1. This just takes care of the certificate problem. http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/05/imap_ssl.html The other gentlemen was right, and you do have to have the correct port setup. I found this on the eudora site. http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/2307hq.html Jim Cunning wrote:
Hello,
After upgrading from 8.0 to 9.1, I can no longer get my wife's Eudora to connect to my imapd server. I have OpenSSL, imapd installed and configured properly, I believe. I followed the SSL instructions to create a self-signed cert in /etc/ssl/certs, and enabled service imaps in /etc/xinetd.d/imap. Eudora is (now) configured for SSL, according to recommendations I found at the eudora site and UW.
Whenever Eudora starts and attempts to check mail, it reports, "The IMAP command has failed. Reason: IMAP connection to server 192.168.1.6 has been broken."
/var/log/mail has the following: Aug 21 21:29:40 jlc imapd[12159]: imaps SSL service init from 192.168.1.56 Aug 21 21:29:41 jlc imapd[12089]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=??? host=[192.168.1.56] Aug 21 21:29:41 jlc imapd[12160]: imaps SSL service init from 192.168.1.56 Aug 21 21:29:41 jlc imapd[12159]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=??? host=[192.168.1.56] Aug 21 21:29:44 jlc imapd[12160]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=??? host=[192.168.1.56] Aug 21 21:29:50 jlc imapd[12161]: imaps SSL service init from 192.168.1.56
I seem to recall this sort of problem being discussed, but cannot find any threads that are relevant to this particular problem. One thread at Univ. of Washington talked about the "stream end of file" problem, but the solution proposed there made no difference with my situation.
The error messages on each side don't give enough information to understand what's happening. Is there anything I can set in a config file to increase the information?
Thanks, Jim Cunning
