 "NAME"
makeimapaccess - Build IMAP server access file

 "SYNOPSIS"
 \w'makeimapaccess 'u
makeimapaccess

 "DESCRIPTION"

makeimapaccess
rebuilds the contents of the
@sysconfdir@/imapaccess.dat
database from the contents of the files in the
@sysconfdir@/imapaccess
directory. When the
imapd
script starts
couriertcpd, the script specifies the
@sysconfdir@/imapaccess.dat
file to control access to the
Courier
mail server\*(Aqs IMAP daemon. The
makeimapaccess
script must be run before any changes in the
@sysconfdir@/imapaccess
directory take effect.


The
\m[blue]couriertcpd(8)\m[]\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
manual page describes the general format of access files.

 "The imapaccess configuration file"

The
\m[blue]couriertcpd(8)\m[]\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
manual page describes the generic format of the access file. The access file specifies what should be done with connections from defined IP address ranges. The basic choices are to accept or reject the connection. Also, the generic format of the access file allows arbitrary environment variables to be set based on the connection\*(Aqs remote IP address, however the IMAP server does not use any special environment variables on its own.
