Application Development Software

Hey all. We're testing iMS 5.2 and I've run into a problem. I have generated a certificate request (csr) and self-signed it with openssl. The self-signed cert was added with no errors. I then went and added our CA cert and it was accepted with no problems. Next I went to Services, then Encryption, enabled SSL and RSA and pointed it to the cert. This all went off without a hitch.

Now, I go to IMAP, enable the sepearte port SSL (port 993) and save the info. No error messages. Then, just to be sure, I check the local.conf file and it shows to use ssl port 993 and that the ssl port is enabled. Finally, just to be safe, I shutdown and restart iMS with the stop and start scripts.

So, now when I try to connect via secure imap from a client I get the message "Could not connect to mail server ...; the connection was refused." I try telnetting to port 993 and I just get the message "telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused". Finally I scan the box and it is not showing port 993 as open.

I've checked the log files and there are no errors anywhere and there is also no reference to any connections to port 993.

So, any ideas on what is going on here? I'm scratching my head on this one. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.
