SSL Help
As of version 0.5, Althea has support for IMAP over SSL. Due to the overwhelming amount of support requests for installation, we need to make some things clear on how to use SSL with Althea.
First, you can disable SSL support by editing the Makefile. Also, many people report trouble with finding the openssl libraries and header files. If you are using some kind of packaging system (like RedHat or Mandrake) to install openssl, you will need the openssl-devel package. This package contains those header files that are necessary to compile althea. If you aren't using a packaging system to install openssl (you are building from source), then you need to make sure that the openssl gets install, that is, you type make install. If you have any problems compiling, let us know at: althea-developers@lists.sourceforge.net. When Althea starts to use autoconf (near future) this will be easier. We promise!
