There is a built-in tool that converts MBOX files into Mailman archives, but
there is no GUI. CD to /usr/share/mailman/bin and type

./arch

For the instructions.

I use Mailman as a mailing list server for many lists, and have security set
fairly tight, but today a virus went through one of the lists using a
spoofed email address of one of the moderators.

How are others dealing with this? Does anyone have virus scanning and
anti-spam software running on their OS X Servers?

Thanks,

Message-ID: <p0621021fbe793cf36128@[192.168.0.7]>

Hi,

I have a client running 10.3.5 on a G5 Xserve. They are only running 
the file, DHCP and print services.

Scattered through their data are folders named "com.apple.Preview 
....rubbish". These folders are owned by the admin account and are 
empty.

I've deleted them all at the moment but any idea why they are created 
and how to stop more appearing?

Subject: [X-Servers] IMAP/POP servers - Authentication errors
Message-ID: <BE7AB362.A566%leingang@math.harvard.edu>

Hello,

I have a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS 10.3.8 and read my mail with Entourage
2004.  I would like to read the messages that get deposited in
/var/mail/<me>, without having to use using pine or mail as I do currently.
Entourage doesn't allow you to mount file-based mailboxes (you can import
them, but not subscribe to them) so I thought about using a local
mailserver.  I seem to have successfully installed imap but I can't
authenticate.

I downloaded and installed the latest imap and pop daemons from UW, using
the commands 

$ make oxp SSLTYPE=nopwd SSLDIR=/usr SSLCERTS=/etc/sslcerts
$ sudo openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /etc/sslcerts/imapd.pem  -keyout
/etc/sslcerts/imapd.pem -days 3650

Then I added this line to /etc/inetd.conf (sorry if it wraps):

imap    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/libexec/tcpd
/usr/local/libexec/imapd

Finally I restarted xinetd.

Now when I try to connect using an IMAP client (even "telnet localhost 143")
I can't login.  I get the NO LOGIN failed response.  I've also tried
building with the arguments SSLTYPE=unix (to allow plaintext logging in,
kind of a no-no).  Same problem.

Related question: Once it gets working, I only want to allow connections on
the IMAP port from localhost.  Can I do that with the
/etc/hosts.{deny,allow} files?

Any clues?
