Cyrus Service Definitions¶
The Cyrus IMAP server provides service interfaces via either TCP/IP
ports or Unix domain sockets.  For the former, Cyrus requires that there
are proper entries in the host’s /etc/services file.  The following
are required for any host using the listed services:
pop3      110/tcp  # Post Office Protocol v3
nntp      119/tcp  # Network News Transport Protocol
imap      143/tcp  # Internet Mail Access Protocol rev4
imsp      406/tcp  # Internet Message Support Protocol (deprecated)
nntps     563/tcp  # NNTP over TLS
imaps     993/tcp  # IMAP over TLS
pop3s     995/tcp  # POP3 over TLS
kpop      1109/tcp # Kerberized Post Office Protocol
lmtp      2003/tcp # Lightweight Mail Transport Protocol service
smmap     2004/tcp # Cyrus smmapd (quota check) service
csync     2005/tcp # Cyrus replication service
mupdate   3905/tcp # Cyrus mupdate service
sieve     4190/tcp # timsieved Sieve Mail Filtering Language service
Make sure that these lines are present or add them if they are missing.
Controlling Service Ports and Sockets¶
The actual port or socket used by any given service may be controlled
in the service definition line for that service in the
cyrus.conf(5) file, using the listen= directive.  Please
consult the cyrus.conf(5) man page for details.
