Re: [SM-USERS] ERROR: CONNECTION DROP BY IMAP-SERVER

[RYAN v. G. <rm...@sh...>]

Sorry about shouting guess i was just a little frustrated thats all,  I 
had everything working ok a couple of days ago but i was using apache 
1.3.something the default squirrel mail install from the ports tree. 
There was no apache with openssl and php package in the ports so i 
decided that if i had to custom configure it might as well be apache2.   
So the imap server was working a couple of days ago now i get the 
error.  Not that any of this helps you i just had to get it off my chest 
Haha.  I have not tied any different clients as i really like BINC 
(version 1.2.3) have been using it for a log time this is what the log says.
@40000000406a9a9c36df1c8c 773 0 [unknown@127.0.0.1:] Error initializing 
Binc IMAP: SSL negotiation failed: Internal SSL error: 
error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol
The reason for using port 993 is because i only have the ssl version of 
BINC installed that was all i needed at the time for mozzila and outlook 
clients. I will enable the regular version because what you say makes 
sense and i read in the squirrel mail docs somewhere that using the 
regular port will save on server overhead.  I am using php4.3.4 so that 
should not be the problem and am recompiling binc right now with and 
without ssl hope there is a setting somewhere to allow a regular local 
login and an ssl remote login.
