DBMAIL-IMAPD(8)                                                DBMAIL-IMAPD(8)

NAME
       dbmail-imapd - provides access to the DBMail system to clients
       supporting Internet Message Access Protocol, IMAP4r1, as specified in
       RFC 3501.

SYNOPSIS
       dbmail-imapd [-f configfile] [-p pidfile] [-nvVh]

DESCRIPTION
       The dbmail-imapd daemon is a fully featured IMAP4r1 server. It will
       spawn into a number of default processes as set in the dbmail.conf
       file. These processes will enable full IMAP4r1 communication with
       clients.

OPTIONS
       -p pidfile
          Specify an alternate pid file. The daemons are currently hardcoded
          to use /var/run/dbmail-<daemon> for their pid files, and will halt
          if the pid file cannot be written. Use the -p pidfile option to
          place the pid file in your system's preferred location.

       -n
          No daemonize. The program remains attached to the console from which
          it was started. This is quite useful for debugging when combined
          with the -v option.

COMMON OPTIONS
       -f configfile
          Specify an alternate config file. The utilities are currently
          hardcoded to use /etc/dbmail.conf for their configs, and will halt
          if the config file cannot be found. Use the -f configfile option to
          specify your system's preferred config file location.

       -q
          Quietly skip interactive prompts and helpful status messages which
          would otherwise be printed to stdout. Use two -q's to silence errors
          which would otherwise be printed to stderr.

       -v
          Operate verbosely. Some of the utilities in the DBMail suite can
          take two -v's for extra verbosity. Those which don't understand this
          convention won't complain about having the extra -v and will simply
          operate at their normal verbosity.

       -V
          Show the version and copyright, then exit.

       -h
          Show a brief summary of options, then exit.

EXAMPLE
       For xinetd:

            # /etc/xinet.d/dbmail-imap
            #
            service imap
            {
                    socket_type     = stream
                    wait            = no
                    user            = root
                    server          = /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-imapd
                    protocol        = tcp
                    server_args     = -n
                    log_on_failure  += USERID
                    disable         = no
            }

       For stunnel:

            pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid
            cert = /etc/stunnel/yourkeys.pem

            # The next two sections will turn stunnel
            # into a 'secure inetd'. This is mutually
            # exclusive with the proxy sections below.
            [dbmail-pop3d]
            accept = 995
            exec = /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-pop3d
            execargs = dbmail-pop3d -n

            [dbmail-imapd]
            accept = 993
            exec = /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-imapd
            execargs = dbmail-imapd -n

            # The next two sections will proxy
            # from the secure protocol over to
            # the insecure protocol. In this case,
            # use BINDIP=localhost in dbmail.conf!
            [pop3s]
            accept  = 995
            connect = 110

            [imaps]
            accept  = 993
            connect = 143

            # Useful if your preferred SMTP server doesn't do SSL/TLS.
            # This is with your MTA configuration, not DBMail, per se.
            [ssmtp]
            accept  = 465
            connect = 25
