[Pkg-exim4-users] Exim4 w/ Courier-Imap-SSL

[Bryan]

Andreas, thank you for the link, it did indeed fix most of my problems and
it now works.  I now just have a few other minor things to fix.

I am unable to send mail to the server via TLS or SSL.  Not sure what to
even look for here.

All of my users are currently using /home/"username"/mail/<dir>
version of directories in their mailboxes where
/home/"username"/mail/INBOX is their inbox and /home/mail/sent-mail is
their sent mail, etc....

Currently when I am logged in with account "test" and I create a new
folder "saved" with the mail client I can see the folder i created:
:/home/test/Maildir# ls -la
total 56
drwx------  12 test test 4096 2005-06-18 15:55 .
drwxr-xr-x   3 test test 4096 2005-06-18 15:22 ..
drwx------   2 test test 4096 2005-06-18 15:53 courierimapkeywords
-rw-r--r--   1 test test   36 2005-06-18 15:55 courierimapsubscribed
-rw-r--r--   1 test test   15 2005-06-18 15:13 courierimapuiddb
drwx------   2 test test 4096 2005-06-18 15:12 cur
drwx------   6 test test 4096 2005-06-18 15:15 .Drafts
drwx------   2 test test 4096 2005-06-18 14:45 new
drwx------   6 test test 4096 2005-06-18 15:53 .saved **new folder**
drwx------   6 test test 4096 2005-06-18 14:45 .Sent
drwx------   2 test test 4096 2005-06-18 15:55 tmp
drwx------   6 test test 4096 2005-06-18 15:12 .Trash

My question really is, can I tweak courier/exim4 to use regular folder
lists instead of the "." folder lists?  Since all of the existing folders
are non . folders it would be easiest to just move them over to the new
mail server and be done.  Unless there is a conversion tool to allow the
existing folders to be imported over to the new server in "." format.

Also, doing RBL checking seems to be quite a bit more involved in 4.x than
3.x.  Do you have any examples I could look at?  From what I understand
Exim 4.5 in debian comes pre-loaded w/ Exiscan which is required.




Thanks,

Bryan
