I fetched the SRPMs which SUN/Cobalt used to build those daemons presently on the RaQ4, but I'm looking for feedback and input people who have already installed a newer IMAP and/or Qpopper from the sources. What obstacles did you run into? Did you use any special configure options? (if so, which and why)
No obstacles (put qpopper 3.0.6 in). I did enable the uw-kludge support. I had some speed issues with qpopper 3.0.2 as well and I have two different versions of qpopper 3.0.6 -- one with and the other without PAM support.
To get POP-Before-SMTP to work without modifying it, I start qpopper with the -R command line switch in inetd.conf. This logs POP3 logins with the IP address only, instead of the name.
I'm getting ready to put 4.0.4 in and I plan to keep the uw-kludge support in place and add the ability in qpopper to support APOP and/or POP logins. I find the restriction in the RaQ4 interface on APOP to be annoying.
I hadn't looked at IMAP the way you did -- looks like I'll be needing to do that as well.
