I am having trouble installing this on jaguar. I have a working IMAP server, using ssl. OK I see that sqirrelmail doesn’t support that, not a big deal. The mail server is on the same machine as the webserver, so I see why I don’t need ssl between the two. My question, is how do get IMAP to listen on port 143 for Squirrelmail, and port 993 for the rest of the connections. Do I need to run two instances?

I have attempted to follow the directions found here including make osx SSLTYPE=unix this reports that everything is up to date.

Could it be as simple as uncommenting lines in in inetd.conf? tried that now I have a line for imaps and one for imap otherwise they are identical. Still no luck. perhaps the firewall, but it shouldn’t be, they are the same machine.

As mentioned earlier I set up a new laptop for my MIL. We also gave her an email account, so that she has her own account instead of piggybacking on Michaels. I have our server set up to use IMAPS for receiving mail, and sendmail as the smtp server.

Apparently she has been unable to send any mail, the entire time she has had the account, receiving mail has worked without a hitch, if you ignore the warning that I have failed to pay for my certificate used for the secure connection. Not really a problem, as long as they know to just click through the warning, and I refuse to pay someone to vouch to myself, and family that I am who I say I am.

I went over on Sunday and tried to connect to my server using terminal, port 25 was definitely not responding. Thinking through it I went back last night and tried to connect to several other mail servers on port 25, the only one that worked was the server at their ISP. good news I am not doing anything wrong, it is happening at the ISP.

Using this new information, I change their outgoing server to that of their ISP, and all the queued mail starts moving.

This explains the directions I found on some universitys website about setting up mail clients when connect to a local ISP, change your SMTP server to the ISP’s SMTP Server.

Back in good graces!

Always backup all files before changing servers. We moved houses last week, and I took the opportunity to change machines for our server. We needed to get a new ISP because we are too far out for DSL anymore. So after three years as a server and three years as our desktop before that I decided to retire the Power Center Pro 180(g3 400 upgrade) and give it to the boys. Maybe see if Jaguar runs on it first, like to have that on it for them if possibe. I initially changed our homepage to reflect the move and thought no more about it till I had time. Last night I realized that the database that runs the website is still on the old machine. The one with no usable IP address, a quick login to it to set it to get a new IP, back to the new machine, connect to the old with phpMyAdmin. works great except that everytime I select the database i want the url changes from ip to hostname, and that host is the new server, file not found. Cocoa Mysql cant connect to it either because I didnt allow any connections from my new IP, didnt know Id need to. look look up the format for mysqldump and ssh in. works great except it shts down the connection in the middle of typing. On the old machine do the dump and try to scp it to the new machine, connections to the new ip timeout. Back to the new server and scp from that direction. Download Carbon Copy Cloner amd backup the new server to an external drive.
