Getting Verbose Transcripts from IMAPD

2 November, 2002 - GEST

Intro -  At present we run IMAPD via STUNNEL through inetd.conf.  That's complicated.  If an imap connection stops working its useful to be able to review the dialogue between the client and server.  This is the recommended method from bigbro.

Method - Make a script (like the one in /usr/local/sbin/old_scripts/imap_debug) of the form

	#!/bin/bash
	tee imapd.in-$$ | /usr/sbin/imapd | tee imapd.out-$$

Get stunnel to call this script instead of imapd.  This will "tee" off the input and output of imapd into two files imapd.in-process_number and imapd.out.  Then you can review the whole conversation.
