This is your problem. The above line sets up the Sendmail daemon to listen on port 25 but the standard mc file distributed with FreeBSD also sets up a DAEMON port (it's at the end of the MC file). Here is what my DAEMON_OPTIONS lines look like. These should be the only DAEMON_OPTIONS lines in the mc file. dnl Enable for both IPv4 and IPv6 (optional) DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=IPv4, Family=inet') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=IPv6, Family=inet6, Modifiers=O') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s')dnl > DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s')dnl > > After running (in /etc/mail) "make clean", "make cf", "make > install", "make > restart", SMTP no longer works, and I find the following in > maillog and > messages > > Feb 12 20:25:55 mail sm-mta[1213]: daemon IPv4: problem > creating SMTP socket > Feb 12 20:26:00 mail sm-mta[1213]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): > opendaemonsocket: > daemon IPv4: cannot bind: Address already in use > > When I try and stop sendmail, I get a message that the pid > for Sendmail > cannot be found.

Have you tried to setup your mail client to connect to port 465?

It should connect but you will not see anything since it is expecting an SSL connection. > My second problem is rather simple, after I create an IMAP > folder, I am > unable to delete it using a remote client.

I have not seen this problem although I have it setup for an office of Outlook users. I would check the permissions on the folders in the user home directory. This is where the IMAP user forlders are by default. I usually setup the clients to use the base imap if Mail and then create a Mail directory in the user home directory. That way the mail folders don't get messed up with the user stuff. > > Hopefully this is the right list for these questions, if not, > could someone > please direct me to the correct one?
