I'm trying to set up a FreeBSD 6.0 box as a mail server, and while everything seems to be working OK for the most part, I have run into two issues that I cannot resolve (I'm new to BSD, please bear with me). Install went as follows: Installed via FTP last night along with "src - Sources for everything",

IMAP-UW was compiled via ports with WITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT enabled (same for cclient), OpenSSL, Cyrus-SASL2 & Cyrus-SASL2-saslauthd were compiled via ports with no flags.

Sendmail was installed with the base install and recompiled (after SASL2 was up and running) with the following options added to make.conf:

# SASL (cyrus-sasl v2) sendmail build flags...
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2
# Adding to enable alternate port (smtps) for sendmail...
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS+= -D_FFR_SMTP_SSL

I followed the instructions I found at http://www.bsdconspiracy.net/howto/sendmail.html, and had no problems with the install except for Sendmail. After recompiling sendmail, I added the following lines to the mail.server.mc file:

define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS',`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl
define(`CERT_DIR', `/etc/mail/certs')dnl
define(`confCACERT_PATH', `CERT_DIR')dnl
define(`confCACERT', `CERT_DIR/mycert.pem')dnl
define(`confSERVER_CERT', `CERT_DIR/mycert.pem')dnl
define(`confSERVER_KEY', `CERT_DIR/mykey.pem')dnl
define(`confCLIENT_CERT', `CERT_DIR/mycert.pem')dnl
define(`confCLIENT_KEY', `CERT_DIR/mykey.pem')dnl
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s')dnl

After running (in /etc/mail) "make clean", "make cf", "make install", "make restart", SMTP no longer works, and I find the following in maillog and messages

Feb 12 20:25:55 mail sm-mta[1213]: daemon IPv4: problem creating SMTP socket
Feb 12 20:26:00 mail sm-mta[1213]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon IPv4: cannot bind: Address already in use

When I try and stop sendmail, I get a message that the pid for Sendmail cannot be found. I end up killing the missing Sendmail daemon using KSysGuard

If I remove this line - "DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl" from the mail.server.mc file, make cf, make install, make restart, sendmail starts normally. When trying to access from another machine on my network, I can only connect on port 25 without a secure connection (I'm using Thunderbird for this), although SMTP-AUTH is working correctly.

Any ideas on what I might need to do to get SSL / SMTP-AUTH working on SMTP? I took a look at the instructions in the handbook, but they were written for SASL1. Running netstat shows smtps listening on 465, but when I try to telnet to that port, the server drops the connection.

My second problem is rather simple, after I create an IMAP folder, I am unable to delete it using a remote client. Thunderbird responds with "The mail server responded: RENAME failed: Can't create mailbox node /home/User/Trash/: File exists. Nothing shows up in any of the server logs though.

Hopefully this is the right list for these questions, if not, could someone please direct me to the correct one? Any advice anyone can give me on either of these problems would be greatly appreciated.
