I need to set up a POP3 server for a while, and after a quick survey,
akpop3d seemed like a good choice - partly because it supports
POP3 via
SSL. So I built it from the ports tree (3.8 -stable), and
installed it.
I am currently starting from the command line as follows:
# akpop3d -d -s
Attempts to connect result in immediate complaints from the client
(I've
tried two of them: Evolution (Linux) and Pegasus (Windoze).
I'm assuming this is due to the fact that I have no cert or key file
installed or generated?
Before I invest any more time in this, I thought I'd ask if anyone
else
is using akpop3d, what the consensus of opinion is on it, and if
there
is any documentation on how to generate the .pem (Base64-encoded?)
cert
and key files.
Perhaps some fwd progress... got cert & key files installed, but I am
bombing during the authentication process. Following is part of the
debug output from my client. I double-checked the password value, and
it's correct (changed here, but my client's log shows it correctly).
The culprit seems to be the "group not found" error... WTF, O??

OK, It looks like the port needs some work as it doesn't handle the
default group name.
main.c:# define DEFAULT_GROUP_NAME "mail"
It appears that this can be changed with a command line arg.
main.c: case 'g': group_name = optarg; break;
It looks like the groupname is used as an argument to lock the users
mail box.
pop3_session.c.orig: g_inf = getgrnam("mail");
pop3_session.c.orig: if (g_inf==NULL) {
pop3_session.c.orig: if (setegid(g_inf->gr_gid)!=0 && real_username
[0] == 0) {
pop3_session.c.orig: syslog(LOG_ERR,"%s: %u: %s","setegid()
failed",g_inf->gr_gid,strerror(errno));
pop3_session.c.orig: if (setgid(g_inf->gr_gid)!=0 && real_username
[0] == 0) {
pop3_session.c.orig: syslog(LOG_ERR,"%s: %u: %s","setgid()
failed",g_inf->gr_gid,strerror(errno));
pop3_session.c.orig: if ((rc=lock_maildrop(maildrop,u_inf-
>pw_uid,g_inf->gr_gid))<=0)
yup, it then fchowns the lock file
lock_maildrop.c: fchown(fd,uid,gid);
So I would assume on other unix systems /var/mail is group mail by
default, maybe??.
if you want to add mail to the /etc/group file
man -k groupadd
groupadd (8) - add a group to the system
