(1) they are more likely to do the right thing if the user sets
rc_fast_and_loose; and
(2) they pre-create any necessary directories prior to start the
respective services.
Also, fix the path to the courierwebadmin binary in SPECIAL_PERMS for the
courier-mta package.
Bump the PKGREVISION.
+ Install some more of the HTML documentation in the location expected
by courier-mta.
+ Moved the default locations for the imapd and pop3d SSL certificates
into ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}. These paths may be changed directly in the
imapd-ssl and pop3d-ssl configuration files by modifying TLS_CERTFILE.
* New capability to control announcements of IMAP ACL support when
starting imapd.
* Optimization: Skip going through the motions of outputting the results
of a SORT if the number of sorted messages is 0.
* Have CREATE and RENAME also create courierimapuidlist.
* Log total bytes sent/received in IMAP and POP3 sessions.
or POPS daemons -- we just rely on the Courier control scripts to fail
if the SSL certificate specified in the config file isn't readable.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 1.
3.0.5 include:
* Implemented IMAP and POP3 proxy aggregator. With a proxy
aggregator, the mail accounts are split between multiple,
independent servers, with an IMAP/POP3 server running on each
individual server. A separate, proxy server sits in front and
accepts ordinary IMAP and POP3 connections. It reads the login
ID, determines which server the account is located on, connects
to the server, and logs in. Then, for the lifetime on the login
session the front-end server takes itself out of the loop, and
forwards all session traffic between the IMAP/POP3 client, and
the back-end server.
* Use courier-authlib for user authentication.
* IPv6 support.
* Minor bug fixes.
Please note when updating that the locations of the userdb files has
changed to be within the courier-authlib config directory, e.g.
/usr/pkg/etc/authlib/userdb*.
distribution). Changes from version 2.2.1 include:
* Honor ${VARBASE}.
* courierlogger(1) has been moved to mail/courier-auth.
* Use the sysconftool from courier-auth to merge config files.
* The courier* rc.d scripts now check that authdaemond is also set to
"YES" to ensure that authdaemond is running before the courier-imap
daemons are started.
* Support for the ACL IMAP extension (RFC 2086 as well as the 2nd draft
revision of the ACL specification) via shared maildirs.
* Bug fixes and improvements to MIME encoding.
* Fixes buffer overflow vulnerability (PR 25774):

addition of keywords on Maildir messages, use of FAM if it exists to
allow simultaneous access to the same Maildir from multiple clients,
and fixed handling of DELETEd messages and the Trash folder.
bug fixes, plus the major change of moving the authentication modules into
a separate package (courier-auth). The authentication modules are to be
shared with a forthcoming sqwebmail package.
Makefile into package and common parts to facilitate creating sub-packages
for the separate authentication modules, and using the general INSTALL
scripts. Changes from version 1.3.8.2 include:
* bug fixes
* move authentication modules into a separate daemon process
* partial support of the IMAP QUOTA extension.
* added experimental PostgreSQL authentication module.
* added experimental LDAP_TLS option to LDAP authentication.
* workarounds for Outlook
* Disable MSIE 6.0 smart tags in all html files

* There was an inverted test in the rc.d scripts that was causing them to
fail on newer NetBSD systems.
* Install the rc.d scripts under ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d, not in ${PREFIX}/etc.
four scripts (courier-{imap,imaps,pop,pops}) that are rc.d-style scripts
to start/stop the various Courier IMAP and POP3 services. They were
modelled after the samba scripts which may be invoked on systems without
rc.d.
Courier-IMAP is a server that provides IMAP access to Maildirs. This IMAP
server does NOT handle traditional mailbox files (/var/spool/mail, and
derivatives), it was written for the specific purpose of providing IMAP
access to Maildirs.
"Maildir" is a directory-based mail storage format originally introduced
in the Qmail mail server, and adopted as an alternative mail storage
format by both Exim and Postfix. Courier-IMAP is popular on
Qmail/Exim/Postfix sites that are configured to use maildirs. The primary
advantage of maildirs is that multiple applications can access the same
Maildir simultaneously without requiring any kind of locking whatsoever.
It is a faster and more efficient way to store mail. It works particularly
well over NFS, which has a long history of locking-related woes.
