IMAPD(8)
NAME
  imapd - IMAP server process

SYNOPSIS
  imapd [ -p ssf ]

DESCRIPTION
  Imapd is an IMAP4rev1 server.	 It accepts commands on its standard input
  and responds on its standard output.	It is normally invoked by inetd(8)
  with those descriptors attached to a remote client connection.

  Imapd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file.

  If the file msg/shutdown is created under the directory specified in the
  configdirectory configuration option, then imapd will shut down the
  connection, sending the first line contained in the file to the client as
  the reason.  New connections are denied.

  If the file msg/motd is created under the directory specified in the
  configdirectory configuration option, then imapd will send the first line
  contained in the file to clients upon connect as an ALERT message which
  IMAP-compliant clients are required to display.  This option serves to
  annoy users mostly.  Unfortunately clients tend to connect far more
  frequently than is apparent, causing each connection to generate a seperate
  server ALERT for each connection.  Many clients do not display these
  properly, if they do anything with them at all.

  If the directory log/user exists under the directory specified in the
  configdirectory configuration option, then imapd will create protocol
  telemetry logs for sessions authenticating as user.  The telemetry logs
  will be stored in the log/user directory with a filename of the imapd
  process-id.

OPTIONS
  -p ssf
       Tell imapd that an external layer exists.  An SSF (security strength
       factor) of 1 means an integrity protection layer exists.	 Any higher
       SSF implies some form of privacy protection.

FILES
  /etc/imapd.conf
