Hi, I've never setup or configured any internet mail package before, so I'm hoping I'm missing something simple. I've followed the install.html and looked at the cyrus how-to, and searched the mailinglist archive but I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I have berkley db 3.2 installed, sasl 1.5.24 and cyrus-imapd-2.0.16 on RH7.0. Eventually, when I get that configuration working, I want to use openssl 0.9.6 and sendmail 8.12.0 B16. There doesn't seem to be an existing imapd package installed. When I run master and imtest to check the installation, all I see is: C: C01 CAPABILITY Telnet to the port results in a connection but no response from the server. the /etc/xinetd.d does not have anything for imap or any other protocol that should be handled by master. /etc/services has the entries that are listed in the install doc. I don't remember what my initial configuration options were, but I found a post where someone shared their configure options and I reconfigured and recompiled with no luck. ./configure --disable-krb4 --disable-gssapi --disable-cram --disable-digest --with-dblib=berkley The only deviation I did from standard was to make symlinks from the standard /usr/cyrus and /var/imap directores to /home/cyrus and /home/var/imap because my root filesystem is space constrained. Any suggestions? How do I diagnose what's going wrong here? TIA Eddy
