Im confused, how can I find out if my server is using exim or dovecot for pop3?

[darkus]

I see under services my server is running both exim and dovecot.

This is a brand new DA install (3 days ago) using the custombuild option so I could have apache 2.2, etc...

Is there anyway I can tell which of the email programs is actually serving out my emails via POP?

The reason I ask is because I want to enable secure email/SSL.

Thanks!

Dovecot is not an Exim replacement. Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) and Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server.

Got ya, thanks so I should be looking for dovecot security how-to's. Do you think there needs to be any special tweaks done because of the DirectAdmin environment or can I just use a general purpose how-to guide for using secure dovecot?

Thanks for the help

First you have to determine if you are using dovecot or vm-pop3d.

What exactly do you want to secure? DA installation of Dovecot is secure enough.

I think he means something like rules for BFD and firewalls.
