More essential software for a home linux server

Time to (re)install an IMAP server on the home server. Using

mu
tt
-f {homeserver}inbox
is much nicer than the
m
ail -f
~/ImapFolders/inbox

uw-imapd - remote mail folder acc
ess server


While the debian package will create its own certificate, take a look
at my old
note at how to create a self signed certificate for IMAP.

squid also needed a little configuration to allow for the Using
ssh to pierce corporate firewalls hack.

In /etc/squid.conf, add a line like this:

http_port 127.0.0.1:3128

Now this works again:

ssh -f -C -L 8080:127.0.0.1:3128 -l marc 192.168.1.200 sleep 1000
