imapd errors

Hi,
I set up a mail server using postfix. I have imap running under xinetd and
starts with no errors but when I try to connect:

++++++++++++++++++++++++
telnet 192.168.10.100 110
Trying 192.168.10.100...
Connected to 192.168.10.100.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK POP3 [192.168.10.100] 2004.89 server ready
user jdoe1
-ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command
++++++++++++++++++++++++

This some kind ofSSL thing? SO even setting up an account in the mail
client KMAIL, the same error "ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command" is
returned.

???

Thanks

erm where to start?

110 is pop not imap
143 is imap

which pop server?

what sort of auth - local, ldap etc etc?

Can you start the POP server in debug mode?

Can you strace it?

mmm. yes. i am using imapd under xinetd. imapd provides pop 2, 3 and imap.
Auth is LDAP.
IMAP log level is set to debug and nothing significant than the "ERR
Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command" error when the user connects and tries
to log in.
I think it is something to do with SSL. Where do you put the SSL
certificates for imapd?

DO:
cd /etc/ssl/certs
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out ipop3d.pem -keyout ipop3d.pem

This places the certs where imapd can find them.

cheers
