This section presents a step-by-step procedure for generating a basic PMDF POP and IMAP Mailbox Servers configuration files using the pmdf configure mailbox_servers utility. Refer to Chapter 5 for a sample configuration session.

1. Configuration of the PMDF POP and IMAP Mailbox Servers should be done by root. If you are not logged in as root, do so now.
2. Begin the configuration procedure by invoking the PMDF Mailbox Server configuration utility as follows, assuming that you have /usr/bin in your search path:

   # cd /pmdf/table # pmdf configure mailbox_servers

3. The configuration procedure will optionally print out detailed explanations of each prompt as it proceeds. Unless you are familiar with the procedure, you should enable the detailed output.
4. Once you have completed running pmdf configure mailbox_servers, type out or print out the checklist file, /pmdf/table/mailbox_servers.checklist and complete the configuration by following the steps outlined in the checklist.
