Please note that unless your NetMAX product includes SSL-enabled POP3, then the NetMAX team will not be held responsible for any outcomes of attempting the instructions below. If your NetMAX product does include SSL-enabled POP3, then you do not need the instructions below, and can simply follow the instructions in your mail to enable POP3 over SSL. In short, these instructions are provided as a courtesy. Use them at your own risk.

Follow these steps to SSL enable POP3:

  • Log in with root access.
  • Make a directory for the certificates: mkdir /usr/netmax/certs
  • Copy the admin.pem certificate:       cp /var/conf/ssl/admin.pem /usr/netmax/certs/ipop3sd.pem
  • Copy pop3 to pop3s:       cp /etc/xinet.d/pop3 /etc/xinet.d/pop3s
  • Edit the pop3s file changing all instances of pop3 to pop3s
  • Restart the xinetd service:       service xinetd restart
  • Test it by typing:       telnet localhost 995
  • You should get a message about the escape character.
