Using WU-IMAP with SSL and xinetd on 10.2
Authored by: Johnny_B on Aug 31, '03 08:48:58AM
Got it to work with POP3 through ssl to. I build it with ssl support only. /etc/xinetd.d/pop3s looks like this:

service pop3s
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
groups = yes
flags = NOLIBWRAP
server = /usr/local/libexec/ipop3d
inly_from= 62.73.214.89/29 localhost
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
}


Ofcourse you have to have the ipop3d installed, build WU-IMAP like the author did, or follow the installers guide to not allow access without ssl like I did. Then cd to your imap build directory, then sudo cp ipopd/ipop3d /usr/local/libexec or any other place you like. Restart xinetd, ohh glory it works. Remember to open up port 995 to. You might want to make /etc/xinetd.d/pop3 to in case you might change your mind and wants to allow no ssl to, I have /etc/xinetd.d/imap to, just in case.

Hehe, you also need to make a certificat for pop3, by doing this:

sudo openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out ipop3d.pem -keyout ipop3d.pem -days 3650

And I have one question here… How do you do this in Windows ? Or any other OS's. I want to use ssl, and turning it on in mail was like a game, but making that certificat could be trouble for some that might want to access my mail server.
