Tech Notes/System/Qmail and Friends/Running Binc IMAP We run {link:Binc IMAP|http://www.bincimap.org/} since it's fairly simple, and it talks maildir by default. It uses {link:daemontools|http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html}. We do a build from the source, with the default installation locations; no configuration is needed. (We had to hack the sources, though: look for "extern int errno;" and replace it with "#include <errno.h>".) The build needs ~~gcc-c++~~ and ~~openssl-devel~~. The package can be built as a non-privileged user. Follow the instructions, and do a "make testcert" to get a test certificate for SSL connection. There's an error in the documentation: the daemontools templates are in ~~/usr/local/var/service~~, not ~~/usr/local/share/service~~. Also, for some reason, ~~/usr/local/var/log~~ (the default log location) is not created, so we do that by hand. The authentication machinery needs {link:checkpassword|http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html}. 2005-12-19 21:57:22.0 2005-12-19 20:33:45.0
