To Configure the Mail Service on a Solaris Management Server

Steps

1. Log in as root to the management server.

2. Add the following lines to the file /etc/inetd.conf:

   imap    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /opt/sfw/sbin/imapd imapd
   pop2    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /opt/sfw/sbin/ipop2d ipop2d
   pop3    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /opt/sfw/sbin/ipop3d ipop3d

3. Type the command inetconv to generate the email service manifests.

   For example:

   # inetconv inetconv: Notice: Service manifest for 100235/1 already generated as /var/svc/manifest/network/rpc/100235_1-rpc_ticotsord.xml, skipped inetconv: Notice: Service manifest for tftp already generated as /var/svc/manifest/network/tftp-udp6.xml, skipped inetconv: Notice: Service manifest for 100083/1 already generated as /var/svc/manifest/network/rpc/100083_1-rpc_tcp.xml, skipped inetconv: Notice: Service manifest for 100068/2-5 already generated as /var/svc/manifest/network/rpc/100068_2-5-rpc_udp.xml, skipped imap -> /var/svc/manifest/network/imap-tcp.xml Importing imap-tcp.xml ...Done pop3 -> /var/svc/manifest/network/pop3-tcp.xml Importing pop3-tcp.xml ...Done

4. Restart the inetd service.

   Determine the inetd service process ID, and then restart the service using the command syntax kill -hup processid.

   For example:

   # ps -ef | grep inet     root   410     1   0 16:12:20 ?           0:04 /usr/lib/inet/inetd start # kill -HUP 410

5. Verify that the pop3 and imap mail services have started.

   Type the commands inetadm | grep pop3 and inetadmin | grep imap. For example:

   # inetadm |grep pop3 enabled   online         svc:/network/pop3/tcp:default # inetadm |grep imap enabled   online         svc:/network/imap/tcp:default

6. Type /etc/init.d/sendmail restart to restart the mail service.
