Okay, *EXPERTS*! Here's a good one for you. I am trying to run UW IMAP over SSL. I have compiled and installed the most recent OpenSSL; I have done the same for UW IMAP (IMAP 2000 release candidate 6), verified that the services are in /etc/services (simap 993/tcp) and that a line for simap exists in /etc/inetd.conf; qmail is my MTA... I can connect normally to the IMAP service at port 143; but when I try to do an SSL connect (using Nutscrape Massager 4.3) it gives me a dialog box saying "Connect: Contacting host [hostname]" (where [hostname] is the name of the host, and gives me the old "cylon" progress bar... *sigh*... then fails. [hostname] is not a fully qualified domain name; it is an alias that appears in my NT (SILENCE! It is only a test station) LMHOSTS file; I can access the standard IMAP service at port 143 using [hostname], so I don't think it is a domain name problem. What I suspect is that there is a problem with my key and certificate. I tried to use openssl req to generate a self-signed root CA certificate. It seems to generate without errors... I put the private key and the certificate together as described in the SSLBUILD file (UW IMAP) and put it in /usr/local/ssl/certs, name it imapd.pem... I just can't figure out why this won't work, though. This can't be that complicated. Is there anybody out there who has set this up before? Input wanted. =) -Stephen-
