Package: courier-imap-ssl Version: 4.8.0-3 Severity: normal
Dear Debian folks,
I am confused by reading the SysV init.d script and the description of
the package.
IMAP over SSL is handled by the regular IMAP daemon from
courier-imap in conjunction with the SSL/TLS wrapper supplied by
courier-ssl.
Looking at the configuration parameters
$ grep START /etc/courier/imapd-ssl
##NAME: IMAPDSSLSTART:0
IMAPDSSLSTART=NO
##NAME: IMAPDSTARTTLS:0
# Whether or not to implement IMAP STARTTLS extension instead:
IMAPDSTARTTLS=YES
# Set IMAP_TLS_REQUIRED to 1 if you REQUIRE STARTTLS for everyone.
# (this option advertises the LOGINDISABLED IMAP capability, until
STARTTLS
##NAME: TLS_STARTTLS_PROTOCOL:0
# TLS_STARTTLS_PROTOCOL is used instead of TLS_PROTOCOL for the IMAP
STARTTLS
and the following excerpt from `/etc/init.d/courier-imap-ssl`
START=no
case "$IMAPDSSLSTART" in
[yY]*)START=yes;;
esac
case "$1" in
start)
if [ "$START" = "yes" ]; then
log_daemon_msg "Starting $PROGRAM" "$DAEMON"
umask $IMAP_UMASK
ulimit -v $IMAP_ULIMITD
/usr/bin/env - /bin/sh -c " . ${sysconfdir}/imapd ; \

it is not started, when `IMAPDSTARTTLS=YES` is set in the configuration
file. Maybe I am misunderstanding the configuration file, but I do not
read it that `IMAPDSSLSTART` is required for TLS. If I was right, the
script should be updated. If I am wrong, at least the script should
inform the user why the daemon is not started. Running
$ sudo service courier-imap-ssl
and nothing happens is a bad user experience in my opinion.
Thanks,
Paul
