Imap imap-ssl pop3-ssl
[Sorry for the cross-post - I think it's applicable to both -isp and -user.] I need to offer imap, imapssl and pop3ssl services. FWIW, imap would be localhost only, but -ssl services would be publically accessible. My reading thus far leads me towards Courier-imap with Exim 4 backported to stable so I can interface with ClamAV, but feel free to point out something important that I've missed. Do I need to have a different instance of the server running for each protocol? i.e. one listening on each port that the three services use as standard? Is there a server that would do the job with just one instance listening on all three ports? Would there be any advantages or disadvantages to this? I'm thinking locking/concurrency/that-sorta-thing. How do you deal with this situation? Are there any gotchas I need to know about? I'm guessing that using Maildirs will alleviate many of the problems that mboxes would create ... Any pointers/suggestions/cluebats appreciated! jc -- Have a nice cup of tea and a biscuit. Fifty-five million Britons can't be wrong. Ooo - jammy dodgers!!
Re: Debian-based hosting needed

Obviously I am a big Debian fan, however all the server hosting companies I can find are using RedHat or that Sun sh*t. ;) Can anyone recommend a company? Hardware requirements are pretty basic, and once the server is installed, we will manage it ourselves. All we need from this company will be connectivity and the box itself. Backup would be something we'd think about if the price was right. Oh yeah, price is important as well.

Bandwidth monitoring .. hints/tips which tool?
Hi all - [Summary: What tool is best for traffic monitoring down to the per-user level?] Just wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction so that I can build a positive image of Debian within the organisation I work for. The company's nothing exciting - we make cookers :-) The IT guy there would like to be able to see who's using our intra-site bandwidth up, and on what task. Traffic breakdown by time, user (hence IP, I suppose) and port would be my best guess. All traffic goes through an MS proxy server at this site (and traffic going that way is all we're concerned about at this juncture) and then through a Cisco router on the way to the remote site. He'd like a solution that involves installing a piece of software on his local PC and nothing else, but I'm not so easily satisfied. I want to (and I think I can convince him to let me) install a low-end box between either the network and the proxy, the proxy and the router, or the router and the remote site. I'd like to get a Debian box in there, and I'd appreciate some help with what I should be looking to put it on there. I've been looking at MRTG, but can't see (remembering that I'm not in a position to try stuff out at work to see if it works :-|) a way to break the reports down by source/destination IP address. Am I missing something? If not, and MRTG just isn't the tool for this job, then what is? I'm not averse to a bit of perl/whatever hacking, but would like to use an existing tool if it's out there! Any ideas? On-list, please. Thanks! jc
Re: Debain installed exim BIG TROUBLE

It's being run by the inetd superserver. Take a look at /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/init.d/exim. The init.d script stops and doesn't load exim if it finds a line starting smtp in the inetd.conf file. Look at man inetd.conf. HTH, jc
