imaps - using courier and stunnel



hi all,

I've been trying to get courier-imap to work under ssl and have all
the relevant openssl and stunnel programs installed, but can't for
the life of me work out what's wrong.

I've edited the /etc/init.d/courier-imap so that it launches the
ssl version of courier, and a ps ax shows it to be running. But
whenever I try to get mutt to connect to it, it just freezes. The
logs show it trying to startup, but then nothing, and when I kill
off mutt there is an error message in the logs.

I suspect that the certificates are not set up properly, but I've
yet to come across any document that shows the openssl commands
you use to create a x509 cert, and then the process you use to sign
it yourself. Is it just a matter of using your gpg key to sign it?

I hope someone knows what I need to do cos I've been scratching
myself for several days on this one. Just pointers to good documentation
would be a start.

With thanks,

Matthew
