Are there any imap or pop3 entries in [x]inetd.conf (or whatever the equivalent is on OS X)? You could also try doing:

fuser -n tcp imap

to see which processes are listening for imap connections, one of which better be master.

Hi all.


After a search of the archives, I was unable to find a similar query -- so here it goes...

I should mention that I'm a Cyrus IMAP 1.6 veteran. I have that version running on a NetBSD box, and I've had little trouble with it. But recently I've been trying to migrate mail service from that slower NetBSD box to a speedier Mac OS X 10.1.5 machine that is already hosting a few other services.

After a very painful build process (configure, make, NOT! :-), I have been able to get both Cyrus SASL 2.1.15 and Cyrus IMAP 2.1.14 to build (without errors, no less) and install on a Mac OS X 10.1.5 server I've been using.

The good news is that SASL seems to work fine, as I've tested it using the included 'testsaslauthd' and I've been able to authenticate using the 'getpwent' flavor of PLAIN. I figure this is a good thing, because IMAP needs this functionality.

So after many hours, I've built IMAP and installed it according to the documentation. All the programs are in place, and when I run 'master', it appears to try to do the right thing.

Here's what concerns me:
1) When I telnet to the IMAP server (using "telnet localhost imap"), I connect, but it NEVER talks. I've tried sending some returns, and even a "HELO" just for fun, but it remains silent. There is NO greeting whatsoever from IMAPD
2) The same thing happens with POP3D. So there appears to be some sort of systemic problem here.
3) The system log reports the following:
Jul 24 01:12:11 powermac7300 master[6332]: process started

I've setup the "cyrus" user and the "mail" group, and the /var/imap and /var/spool/imap directories are configure with the correct permissions.

Does anybody have any idea with IMAPD is unable to get data to my telnet session?

I'd appreciate any insight you might have.

Thanks...
