Fedora core release 2 Sendmail Configuration

harish_neo · 10-08-2004, 12:10 PM

Hi,

I just installed Fedora core release 2, and I am trying to make it as a mail server. I configured sendmail, as i do in Red Hat 9, but i cannot see ipop3, ipop2, imap files in /etc/xinetd.d/ directory, so i cannot received mails from other computers in my network.

So, Can anyone tell me how to configure Sendmail in Fedora core.

thnx
-Hari

sendmail is a bit insecure for a mail server... couldn't you try qmail ?

Since you're using FC2, it comes with Dovecot for IMAP/POP3 access. Also, dovecot is NOT started as a service under xinetd, but rather through a standard redhat supplied init script.

As far as I can see Dovecot is not a pop3 server only IMAP

Hi,

But we can also make dovecot to act as a pop server by adding the following lines

# Protocols we want to be serving:
# imap imaps pop3 pop3s
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s

Cheers,
