Following a post on the squirrelmail mailing list about a problem which
turned out to be down to inetd not accepting enough connections fir the
imap daemon (not courier!) I thought I'd investigate the possiblity of
running courier-imap from tcpserver (from djb's daemontools package).
courier-imap comes with its own equivalent program called 'couriertcpd'. It
doesn't run from inetd.
I realised this after I'd posted my original question.
Looks very complicated to me. Any idea what their objection is/was to
couriertcpd? They might have been using an old version.
I guess it might be standardisation, i.e. having all your daemons
starting/running/kept running the same way.
I've been using Courier for a couple of years, and the early rc scripts
were
certainly a bit dodgy and used to need some black magic to make them work,
but now they just run out of the box.
If you do use daemontools, beware that it doesn't appear to have any usage
or distribution licence that I can find. (And if it did have one which was
like qmail's, it would be very restrictive)
I do use daemontools - that's why I am considering running courier-imap
under supervise/tcpserver!!
Cheers,
R.
