Yes. > Did you manage to get the TLS working as mentioned in that article? > Curious? Not quite yet, but I'm very close... I seem to have some permissions issues with the certificate files right now. I'll document the process, once it actually works for me. This is sendmail-8.12.2-11 (built from the SRPM from Red Hat 'rawhide') on Red Hat 7.2 on x86 hardware. > Again thanks.

Not a bad plan! Though some of the "solutions" I have seen for that issue on this list look a little manual and unpolished. I think this is more an issue with Cyrus IMAPd 2.1.x -- can you confirm this? With 2.0.16, rebuilding the SRPM by Ramiro Morales seems to work fine. At least until I have SSL/STARTTLS working well for me with 2.0.16 (for IMAP and SMTP), I have no real drive/need to get involved with 2.1.x -- though the altnamespace stuff would definitely be nice to have. As you probably know, there is an existing "Cyrus IMAP HOWTO" at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Cyrus-IMAP.html but it was written in 2000 and so is for 1.6.24, which is now pretty obsolete. I suggest you contact its author and perhaps work with him if you want to update it for 2.0.16. I'd suggest doing that, and then updating again for 2.1.x, that way there will be a version for each major version of cyrus-imapd (1.6.x, 2.0.x, 2.1.x). My own inclination would be to work instead on packaging the new 2.1.x version as an RPM for Red Hat 7.2, fixing or working around any configure.in buglets discovered along the way, and so making the installation a lot easier for many Linux users. But I don't know if I will need/want this badly enough to make the time to do it -- maybe one of the folks who created cyrus-imapd 2.0.x RPMs will work on this before I get there. Jonathan
