This may be a sendmail question, but I thought I'd ask here first: I set up an Outlook client to use secure IMAP and secure SMTP. When sending a message, the client typically times out once or twice and presents an error message indicating the server isn't configured for secure delivery. With a little persistence, Outlook eventually makes a successful connection, and the message goes

I jumped right in and followed the "Quick Configuration" guide after installing dovecot (dovecot-1.0.beta3.tgz) on my OpenBSD 3.9 box. I had previously been using akpop3d (which worked, but was flaky). I am getting the following errors in /var/log/maillog: Jul 23 22:40:29 kingcull dovecot: pop3(jm): open(/var/mail/.temp.myserver.mymail.com.19038.10090e2f3cc51a4b) failed: Permission

I still don't have a clear answer, so I'm posting here :/ I'm currently using mutt as my mail client. It runs on the same host that runs the sendmail MTA for my domain. So sendmail "delivers" my mail to /var/mail/<username>,

At startup I get the following warning: "Warning: Fixing permissions of /var/dovecot to be world-readable." Q: Is this something that I can/should fix, or can it be safely ignored? Thnx, J
