This section describes using the web-based POP and IMAP mailbox servers
configuration utility, which may be used to configure mailbox servers
for either a PMDF-MTA or PMDF-ACCESS system. A command line variant,
pmdf configure mailbox_servers, is also available for
sites for whom web configuration is not convenient; see the
PMDF Obsolete Features Guide for a discussion of the command line mailbox servers
configuration utility. The web-based configuration utility may be used
to generate an initial mailbox servers configuration, or may be used to
generate a new mailbox servers configuration of an existing PMDF
installation.
Using Netscape (version 3.0 or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 4.0 or later), with JavaScript enabled, connect to
http://localhost:7633/where
localhost is the TCP/IP name of your PMDF
system---you should see a page such as shown in Figure 6-3 -- and
then select the "Configuration" link; at this point you
should see a page such as shown in Figure 6-4 .
If your last use of the web-based PMDF configuration utility was to configure PMDF-MTA and your PMDF-MTA configuration has not been manually modified since then, you can "Load" your prior PMDF-MTA configuration session before beginning your mailbox servers configuration; or if you wish to redo your PMDF-MTA configuration, you may start by doing so now; either will minimize the number of checklist tasks you will later need to perform. Otherwise, you may configure just the mailbox servers during this configuration sessions (and then perform checklist tasks to integrate your mailbox server configuration into your main PMDF-MTA configuration).
Click on the "Configure" button for IMAP/POP Servers to begin the configuration.
Refer to Chapter 6 , specifically to Figures 6-9 through Figure 6-15 , for a sample configuration session.
