38 Chapter 2 Mail Service Maintenance

If you’re using the UNIX Sendmail program or another mail transfer agent instead of

Mac OS X Server’s SMTP service, you should also back up the contents of the /var/mail

folder. This folder is the standard location for UNIX mail delivery.

Monitoring Mail Messages and Folders

This section describes how to perform common administrator tasks for monitoring mail

messages. It shows how to:

• Designate an account as a mail administrator account.

• Save mail messages for monitoring and archival purposes.

Allowing Administrator Access to the Mail Folders

You can configure IMAP to allow the server administrator to view the mail service

hierarchy. Administrators cannot view mail itself, only users folder locations.

Administrators can also create globally shared folders and set user quotas. To take

advantage of this administrator access, you must use an email client that allows you to

connect via the standard IMAP port (143).

When you connect as the IMAP administrator, you see all the user mail folders stored

on the server. Each user’s mailbox appears as a separate folder in your mail client. You

can remove inactive mailbox folders that belonged to deleted user accounts.

To configure administrator access to the mail folders:

1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computers & Services pane.

2 Click Settings.

3 Select the General tab and select Enable IMAP, if it is not already checked.

4 Select an existing user or create a new user using Workgroup Manger to be an IMAP

administrator.

5 If you have not created a user record for the mail administrator’s account, see the user

management guide.

6 Open /etc/imapd.conf in a text editor.

If you are not comfortable using a terminal text editor like emacs or vi, you can use

TextEdit.

7 Find the line that reads “admins:”

8 Edit the line to add the UID number of the administrator account after the colon.

9 Save your changes.

10 In your email client application, create an account that uses IMAP to connect to your

mail service using the mail administrator name.

For more information, see the man page for imapd.conf.
