The ipop2d, ipop3d, and imapd daemons should be invoked by your
/etc/inetd.conf file with lines such as:

pop2 stream tcp nowait root ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/ipop2d ipop2d
pop2 stream tcp6 nowait root ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/ipop2d ipop2d
pop3 stream tcp nowait root ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/ipop3d ipop3d
pop3 stream tcp6 nowait root ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/ipop3d ipop3d
imap stream tcp nowait root ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/imapd imapd
imap stream tcp6 nowait root ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/imapd imapd

To use SSL as default transport you need to add the lines below to
/etc/inetd.conf.

pop3s stream tcp nowait root ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/ipop3d ipop3d
pop3s stream tcp6 nowait root ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/ipop3d ipop3d
imaps stream tcp nowait root ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/imapd imapd
imaps stream tcp6 nowait root ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/imapd imapd

inetd(8) must be reloaded (or started). To enable it at boot, the
following line needs to be added to rc.conf.local(8):
inetd_flags=

You also need to install your certificates to
/etc/ssl/{imapd,ipop3d}.pem and files containing the corresponding private
keys to /etc/ssl/private/{imapd,ipop3d}.pem. See ssl(8) for how to do this.


If you want to use the included mailbox lock program, you need to enable
the setgid bit on the mlock binary, then give the "_smmsp" group write
permission on the /var/mail directory. As root:
chmod 2555 ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/mlock
chgrp _smmsp /var/mail
chmod 775 /var/mail

Note that there are security implications to this!


By default, plaintext authentication over clear connection is disabled.
While it is highly recommended not to do so, you may enable it in the
${SYSCONFDIR}/c-client.cf file.
