UW-IMAP and sendmail for oracle

[William Pribble]

How do you get these two products working together. I have a requirement from Oracle to install IMAP on my server, configure three mailboxes (INBOX, DISCARD, PROCESS) for my oracle account. How do I ensure mail created on the server is sent to these accounts? How do I ensure mail generated by my oracle processes is sent to these IMAP accounts. I have installed the imap depot from the HP software shareware site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Elaine, did you ever get this working? I have the same request from our Oracle Team here.

Elaine and/or Stewart.
Any luck yet?
I have the same request and would like to see your answers.

The DBAs got one from some Oracle site. I will ask them and post back here.

I found one on some HP-UX porting archive site, but I never installed it.

Here is what I have so far:
Download iexpress from software.hp.com
copied to /sysadmin/sw/hpuxiexpress1_A.02.00_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64.depot
Registered as a sw depot
"swreg -l depot hpuxiexpress1_A.02.00_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64.depot"
Ran swinstall and selected iexpress -> UW-IMAP
This copied the sw to /opt/iexpress/uw-imap

Support is supposed to be available via email from hpux.iexpress@hp.com.

for each file in /opt/iexpress/uw-imap/sbin did the following
ln -s /opt/iexpress/uw-imap/sbin/ /usr/bin/
Then edit inetd.conf and add the line :
imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/imapd imapd
Check that imap is configured in etc/services :
imap 143/tcp # IMAP server protocol

then reload inetd (kill -HUP ).
Verified with "telnet 143" which showed IMAP response. Good so far ...

Now, I am trying to figure out how to add a new mailbox.
"man mailutil" says to use "mailutil create ".
That fails ...
# mailutil create newmailbox
Can't create mailbox newmailbox: indeterminate format

I'm not sure what that means. Does a mailbox have to have a matching user id?

I can't help you.

The NT/W2K Team put an IMAP server on a W2K box.
