The mail/courier-imap port installs famd as a dependency, but You

I don't see anything about starting there or in fam(1M) other than
"if fam is started by inetd".
Anyway, this is a deficiency in the new versions of courier-imap.
There isn't some kind of --without-fam configure options, the new
versions require fam.
/usr/ports/mail/courier-imap/Makefile says fam is disabled by default:
OPTIONS= OPENSSL "Build with OpenSSL
support" on \
FAM "Build in fam support for IDLE
command" off \
DRAC "Build in DRAC
support" off \
TRASHQUOTA "Include deleted mails in the
quota" off \
GDBM "Use gdbm db instead of system
bdb" off \
IPV6 "Build with IPv6
support" on
I suspect but haven't been able to prove fam is somehow running, if
only as a library linked to imapd. When Mail.app has "connection"
problems its instantly disconnected but sometimes a few messages get
thru. Sometimes a simple ssh to the FreeBSD machine, mutt to view the
mailbox, close it with messages now tagged as old, is all it takes
for Mail.app and courier-imap combination to be happy.
