6 dbmail-imapd - provides access to the DBMail system to clients
7 supporting Internet Message Access Protocol, IMAP4r1, as specified in
8 RFC 3501.
9
11 dbmail-imapd [-f configfile] [-p pidfile] [-nvVh]
12
14 The dbmail-imapd daemon is a fully featured IMAP4r1 server. It will
15 spawn into a number of default processes as set in the dbmail.conf
16 file. These processes will enable full IMAP4r1 communication with
17 clients.
18
20 -p pidfile
21 Specify an alternate pid file. The daemons are currently hardcoded
22 to use /var/run/dbmail-<daemon> for their pid files, and will halt
23 if the pid file cannot be written. Use the -p pidfile option to
24 place the pid file in your system's preferred location.
25 -n
27 No daemonize. The program remains attached to the console from which
28 it was started. This is quite useful for debugging when combined
29 with the -v option.
30
32 -f configfile
33 Specify an alternate config file. The utilities are currently
34 hardcoded to use /etc/dbmail.conf for their configs, and will halt
35 if the config file cannot be found. Use the -f configfile option to
36 specify your system's preferred config file location.
37 -q
39 Quietly skip interactive prompts and helpful status messages which
40 would otherwise be printed to stdout. Use two -q's to silence errors
41 which would otherwise be printed to stderr.
42 -v
44 Operate verbosely. Some of the utilities in the DBMail suite can
45 take two -v's for extra verbosity. Those which don't understand this
46 convention won't complain about having the extra -v and will simply
47 operate at their normal verbosity.
48 -V
50 Show the version and copyright, then exit.
51 -h
53 Show a brief summary of options, then exit.

56 For xinetd:
57 # /etc/xinet.d/dbmail-imap
59 #
60 service imap
61 {
62 socket_type = stream
63 wait = no
64 user = root
65 server = /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-imapd
66 protocol = tcp
67 server_args = -n
68 log_on_failure += USERID
69 disable = no
70 }
71 For stunnel:
74 pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid
76 cert = /etc/stunnel/yourkeys.pem
77 # The next two sections will turn stunnel
79 # into a 'secure inetd'. This is mutually
80 # exclusive with the proxy sections below.
81 [dbmail-pop3d]
82 accept = 995
83 exec = /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-pop3d
84 execargs = dbmail-pop3d -n
85 [dbmail-imapd]
87 accept = 993
88 exec = /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-imapd
89 execargs = dbmail-imapd -n
90 # The next two sections will proxy
92 # from the secure protocol over to
93 # the insecure protocol. In this case,
94 # use BINDIP=localhost in dbmail.conf!
95 [pop3s]
96 accept = 995
97 connect = 110
98 [imaps]
100 accept = 993
101 connect = 143
102 # Useful if your preferred SMTP server doesn't do SSL/TLS.
104 # This is with your MTA configuration, not DBMail, per se.
105 [ssmtp]
106 accept = 465
107 connect = 25
