Howdy,
I've been trying to get upas going over imaps here at work. Finally
today I noticed src/cmd/upas/nfs and inferred the n is for "new" so
had a play. The source served as documentation but I didn't manage to
get very far before some program called "stunnel" started whinging at
me.
OK, so it turns out stunnel is an SSL wrapper thingy. Fair enough.
After a bit of investigation I discovered why it was complaining -
upas/nfs was written for stunnel3, and then they went and completely
ballsed up the interface for stunnel4[1]. Seriously, what the fuck
were they thinking... anyway, after a failed attempt at writing a
wrapper for stunnel3 style arguments in stunnel4 I went to look for an
stunnel3 package and ran across a perl wrapper[2].
The wrapper works, though of course I had to modify upas/nfs/imap.c
to exec it instead of /usr/sbin/stunnel directly. Now I'm off to play
with acme Mail, but I figure this information will be useful to anyone
else trying to get setup.
