hey friends,

I am trying to secure my mail server.I have enabled TLS support in postfix(version postfix-2.1.5), now I am trying to configure squirrelmail(version 1.4.4-1 rpm) for tls/ssl support.In config.php i have choosen use_imap_tls=true and use_smpt_tls=true.

Moreover If I send any mail from squirrelmail there are no entries for ssl or tls in maillogs whereas If I send the mail through evolution I can see tls/ssl entries in maillogs.

But when I did the config.test for squirrelmail I got the below error

Checking IMAP service....
    IMAP server ready (* OK dovecot ready.)
    Capabilities: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED NAMESPACE AUTH=PLAIN
    ERROR: You have enabled TLS encryption in the config, but the server does not report STARTTLS capability. TLS is probably not supported.

Lines of ssl in /etc/dovecot.conf
protocols = imaps pop3s
imaps_listen = *
pop3s_listen = *
ssl_disable = no
ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem   
ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
ssl_parameters_file = /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat
disable_plaintext_auth = yes

If i do telnet localhost 993 or 995 I don't see any "Ok Dovecot Ready" message.But If I enable pop3 and imap in dovecot.conf and then I telnet localhost 110 or 143 I can see "Ok Dovecot Ready" message.

How do I make squirrelmail to use tls/ssl for both imap & smtp.

Thanks & Regards
