Help, new to dovecot...

I want to get some output from my test sessions to confirm that SSL pop and imap are working. How does one get debug output from dovecot? How does one see that dovecot is using SSL in a transaction?

I don't think you can currently see it from logs.

Easiest way to try that it works at all is to use:

openssl s_client -connect host:993

Timo, this worked great for seeing how SSL worked. Thanks! But still, if one builds with "enable-debug", how do you actually use it? I tried doing "setenv VERBOSE_DEBUG 1" and running the code, but didn't see anything happen.

on Solaris 9. BTW, if I compile with Sun's StudioOne version 8 compiler, I get a core dump of dovecot-auth into /var/run/dovecot. The gdb backtrace looks like:

Program terminated with signal 10, Bus error. #0 0x0002b64c in pam_child_input ()

Looks like I fixed this in some 1.0-tests already. I'll include the fix in 0.99.14 as well:

Yes, this patch got 0.99.13 to work with Sun's compiler, no core dumps. Thanks.
