If you are already running a POP3 or IMAP server, (including an old PMDF singlethreaded such server), you need to shut it down before starting up a PMDF multithreaded POP3 server or multithreaded IMAP server.
13.2.1.1 Old POP3 or IMAP servers on OpenVMS
You must shut down any old POP3 or IMAP server you may be running. For
instance, MultiNet and TCPware each comes with its own POP3 server
which you must disable before starting the PMDF POP3 server.
To disable the MultiNet POP3 server, use the commands:
$ MULTINET CONFIGURE/SERVER SERVER-CONFIG> DISABLE POP3 SERVER-CONFIG> RESTART SERVER-CONFIG> EXITIf your version of MultiNet also includes an IMAP server, you will need to disable it as well, using the commands:
$ MULTINET CONFIGURE/SERVER SERVER-CONFIG> DISABLE IMAP SERVER-CONFIG> RESTART SERVER-CONFIG> EXIT
TCPware servers may be disabled using the TCPware menu-driven configuration utility, invoked via the command:
$ @TCPWARE:CNFNET
13.2.1.2 Old POP3 or IMAP servers on UNIX
You must shut down any old POP3 or IMAP server you may be running.
Check your /etc/inetd.conf file; if it has any POP3 or
IMAP services defined, that is, any lines such as
pop3 stream tcp nowait root ... imap stream tcp nowait root ...you must remove those lines. After modifying your
inetd.conf file, you should restart the inetd daemon by
issuing a command such as the following:
# kill -1 `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
