[ILUG] setting up an IMAP server.

[Darragh Ó Héiligh]

Hello again,

Ok, I've set up postfix and fetchmail.

I've hopefully set it all up with SSL support.
I'm using the how-to at
http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/postfix_tutorial.html as a guide.

When I use the command fetchmail -c I get the following error:
http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/postfix_tutorial.html

But, when I try
openssl s_client -connect pop.gmail.com:995 -CApath /home/darragh/certs/.certs/
 the result is the following:

SSL-Session:
    Protocol  : TLSv1
    Cipher    : DES-CBC3-SHA
    Session-ID: 034266DEB154D5A91FEA7F23E4F4AC8E9560AD6D860A18239C06432C1368A057
    Session-ID-ctx:
    Master-Key:
41BA596C633AF07529DA58AE28CE71D834A09F8B1B8FF5A3EDF8D78CCA7F87BA567F2AFF8C01102DF4E9AED95AB05FDC
    Key-Arg   : None
    Start Time: 1190296177
    Timeout   : 300 (sec)
    Verify return code: 0 (ok)

+OK Gpop ready for requests from 78.16.25.217 c1pf1586023ugf



Any ideas what I've done wrong?




Thanks
