NAME

       imapd.conf - IMAP configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/imapd.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/imapd.conf file is the configuration file for the IMAP server.	It defines local parameters for IMAP.

       Each  line  of the /etc/imapd.conf file has the form option: value where option is the name of the configuration option being set and value
       is the value that the configuration option is being set to.

       Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored.

       For Boolean options, the values ``yes'', ``on'', ``t'', and ``1'' turn the option on, the values ``no'', ``off'', ``f'', and ``0'' turn the
       option off.

Field Descriptions
       The  following  sections detail options that can be placed in the /etc/imapd.conf file, and show each option's default value.  Some options
       have no default value, these are listed with ``<no default>''.  Some options default to the empty string, these are listed with ``<none>''.
       The  pathname  of  the  IMAP  configuration directory.  This field is required.	The partition name used by default for new mailboxes.  The
       pathname of the partition name.	At least one field, for the partition named in the defaultpartition option, is required.  For example,	if
       the  value  of  the defaultpartition option is default, then the partition-default field is required.  The umask value used by various IMAP
       programs.  Permit logins by the user "anonymous" using any password.  Also allows use of the SASL  ANONYMOUS  mechanism.   The  percent	of
       quota  utilization over which the server generates warnings.  The length of the IMAP server's inactivity autologout timer, in minutes.  The
       minimum value is 30, the default.  The list of userids with administrative rights.  Separate each userid with a space.

	      Any account that receives mail via the IMAP server should not be included in the list as an administrator account.  This could cause
	      problems.   For  instance, this type of administrator would be able to create top-level mailboxes that are visible to users, but not
	      writable by users.  The Access Control List (ACL) placed on a newly-created (non-user) mailbox that does not have a parent  mailbox.
	      If  nonzero, normal users may create their own IMAP accounts by creating the mailbox INBOX.  The user's quota is set to the value if
	      it is positive, otherwise the user has unlimited quota.  Include notations in the protocol telemetry logs indicating the	number	of
	      seconds  since  the last command or response.  If enabled, the deliver command rejects messages with 8-bit characters in their head-
	      ers.  Otherwise, 8-bit characters are changed to X.  Number of seconds to pause after a successful plain text  login.   For  systems
	      that  support  strong  authentication, this permits users to perceive the cost of using plain text passwords.  (This does not affect
	      the use of PLAIN in SASL authentications.)  The pathname of the srvtab file that contains the server's private key.  This option	is
	      passed  to  the  SASL library and overrides its default setting.	The list of remote realms whose users may log in using cross-realm
	      authentications.	Separate each realm name by a space.  (A cross-realm identity is considered any identity returned by SASL with	an
	      "@"  in  it.)   If  enabled, any authentication identity that has rights on a user's INBOX may log in as that user.  If enabled, the
	      user mailbox directories in the /var/spool/imap/user directory are sorted into subdirectories a through z, just as the files in  the
	      user and quota configuration directories.  This is recommended if the data partition has a highly populated mailbox tree.  The mech-
	      anism used by the server to verify plain text passwords.	In Tru64 UNIX, this should be set to tru64.  It is needed for  authentica-
	      tion in a C2 environment and for proper mail password usage.  Other possible values also include passwd and shadow.  If enabled, the
	      SASL library automatically creates authentication secrets when given a plain text password.  Any other SASL option  can  be  set	by
	      preceding it with sasl_.
