makeimapaccess — Build IMAP server access file
makeimapaccess
makeimapaccess rebuilds the contents of the
/etc/courier/imapaccess.dat database from the
contents of the
files in the /etc/courier/imapaccess directory.
When the
imapd script starts couriertcpd,
the script specifies the
/etc/courier/imapaccess.dat file to control
access to
the Courier mail server's
IMAP daemon. The makeimapaccess script
must be
run before any changes in the /etc/courier/imapaccess
directory take effect.
The couriertcpd(8) manual page describes the general format of access files.
imapaccess configuration fileThe couriertcpd(8) manual page describes the generic format of the access file. The access file specifies what should be done with connections from defined IP address ranges. The basic choices are to accept or reject the connection. Also, the generic format of the access file allows arbitrary environment variables to be set based on the connection's remote IP address, however the IMAP server does not use any special environment variables on its own.
