From the top: First error message is because you need to ensure that the path in imapd is correct, ie. not /usr/local/libexec/imapd, but /usr/local/bin/imapd. Second: the thing that's listening on the imap port is inetd; this will palm off an incoming connection to your imapd when properly configured (see the output of sockstat). Third: grep imap /etc/services. imap2 and imap4 are synonyms for the same port; the port-to-service-name function returns "imap2" because that's listed first. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk stty intr ^m To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
