imapd.conf - IMAP configuration file
/etc/imapd.conf
The /etc/imapd.conf file is the configuration file for the
IMAP server. It defines local parameters for IMAP.
Each line of the /etc/imapd.conf file has the form option:
value where option is the name of the configuration option
being set and value is the value that the configuration
option is being set to.
Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored.
For Boolean options, the values ``yes'', ``on'', ``t'',
and ``1'' turn the option on, the values ``no'', ``off'',
``f'', and ``0'' turn the option off.
The following sections detail options that can be placed
in the /etc/imapd.conf file, and show each option's
default value. Some options have no default value, these
are listed with ``<no default>''. Some options default to
the empty string, these are listed with ``<none>''. The
pathname of the IMAP configuration directory. This field
is required. The partition name used by default for new
mailboxes. The pathname of the partition name. At least
one field, for the partition named in the defaultpartition
option, is required. For example, if the value of the
defaultpartition option is default, then the partitiondefault
field is required. The umask value used by various
IMAP programs. Permit logins by the user "anonymous"
using any password. Also allows use of the SASL ANONYMOUS
mechanism. The percent of quota utilization over which
the server generates warnings. The length of the IMAP
server's inactivity autologout timer, in minutes. The
minimum value is 30, the default. The list of userids
with administrative rights. Separate each userid with a
space.
Any account that receives mail via the IMAP server
should not be included in the list as an administrator
account. This could cause problems. For
instance, this type of administrator would be able
to create top-level mailboxes that are visible to
users, but not writable by users. The Access Control
List (ACL) placed on a newly-created (nonuser)
mailbox that does not have a parent mailbox.
If nonzero, normal users may create their own IMAP
accounts by creating the mailbox INBOX. The user's
quota is set to the value if it is positive, otherwise
the user has unlimited quota. Include notations
in the protocol telemetry logs indicating the
number of seconds since the last command or
response. If enabled, the deliver command rejects
messages with 8-bit characters in their headers.
Otherwise, 8-bit characters are changed to X. Number
of seconds to pause after a successful plain
text login. For systems that support strong
authentication, this permits users to perceive the
cost of using plain text passwords. (This does not
affect the use of PLAIN in SASL authentications.)
The pathname of the srvtab file that contains the
server's private key. This option is passed to the
SASL library and overrides its default setting.
The list of remote realms whose users may log in
using cross-realm authentications. Separate each
realm name by a space. (A cross-realm identity is
considered any identity returned by SASL with an
"@" in it.) If enabled, any authentication identity
that has rights on a user's INBOX may log in
as that user. If enabled, the user mailbox directories
in the /var/spool/imap/user directory are
sorted into subdirectories a through z, just as the
files in the user and quota configuration directories.
This is recommended if the data partition
has a highly populated mailbox tree. The mechanism
used by the server to verify plain text passwords.
In Tru64 UNIX, this should be set to tru64. It is
needed for authentication in a C2 environment and
for proper mail password usage. Other possible
values also include passwd and shadow. If enabled,
the SASL library automatically creates authentication
secrets when given a plain text password. Any
other SASL option can be set by preceding it with
sasl_.
