esmtpd, esmtpd-ssl, esmtpd-msa - Courier mail server ESMTP daemon
SYNOPSIS
esmtpdstart
esmtpdstop
esmtpdrestart
esmtpd-sslstart
esmtpd-sslstop
esmtpd-sslrestart
esmtpd-msastart
esmtpd-msastop
esmtpd-msarestart
DESCRIPTION
The command "esmtpd start" runs
couriertcpd in
the background, listening on the SMTP port.
couriertcpd will run
courieresmtpd in response to connection
requests.
The command "esmtpd stop" stops the
couriertcpd
daemon, shutting down the ESMTP service.
The command "esmtpd-ssl start" starts the server on the
ESMTP-over-SSL port, port 465.
"esmtpd-ssl stop" stops it.
The command "esmtpd-msa start" starts the server on the
message submission port, port 587.
"esmtpd-msa stop" stops it.
The difference between esmtpd and
esmtpd-msa is that
the latter is set up for additional processing as defined by RFC 2476 (mainly
that the messages will have the
Message-ID: and Date: headers added, by
default).
Normally,
makesmtpaccess(8)
automatically runs "esmtpd restart", in order to reread the
/etc/courier/smtpaccess.dat
access file, so you don't have to do
it manually, yourself. Similarly,
makesmtpaccess-ssl(8)
automatically runs esmtpd-ssl restart
and
makesmtpaccess-msa(8)
automatically runs esmtpd-msa restart

/etc/courier/esmtpd-ssl
This configuration file
initializes the settings for courieresmtpd when invoked by
