sendmail problem

Hello,

My redhat8.0 has been installed for half a year, however, recently, I find
that the sendmail becomes abnormal and cannot received email from others,
When I open the webmail, (squirrelmail), I find that there is an error"
ERROR: CONNECTION DROPPED BY IMAP SERVER". I then restart the server, but
the problem cannot be solved.

At the same time, I receive a email from the root email:
xinetd[1016]: FAIL: imap address from=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I notice that there is something wrong in "imap", Any advice is welcome,
thanks

SIMON

RH 8.0 went end-of-life in December 2003, and even fedoralegacy.org
stopped supporting it in May 2004. Find something newer.

IMAP != sendmail

[compton ~]$ zgrep imap rpms.8.0-i386.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 1211325 Sep 03 2002 imap-2001a-15.i386.rpm

You have a problem with the configuration file for xinetd that runs your
imap server. Look at /etc/xinetd.d/imap.

Do you have an imap server installed and running?

Dears.
My imap server is running when testing using the following command,

[root@ns xinetd.d]# netstat -all|grep imap
tcp 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:imap *:* LISTEN

Please advise.

Regards,
Simon
