Hi there, I just installed courier-imap on a Redhat 6.2 machine using the 'authpam' authentication.. This seems to work just fine!!!
I do though would like to ask help 1 question because I can't seem to find much in de documentation: The imap-server I installed will only be accessed by 2-3 client computers. Because of this I want to block all traffic from other computers by accepten only traffic by allowing the IP's from the specified clients.... Normally I run our private services (SSH, FTP) throught INETD which allows me to block traffic using the HOSTS.DENY and HOSTS.ALLOW file.. As far as I know this also prevents any security holes being used in server software like COURIER-IMAP/SSH/FTP because a client should first pass the 'IP' check of INETD before the 'server' software is started.. Is it possible to start Courier through INETD..? I now there is some extra load, but this isn't really a issue.. I tried to do this by adding the IMAPD executable to INETD.. This didn't seem to work for me.. (I could telnet to port 143, but my IMAP client can't seem to connect..) If this isn't possible, is it possible for me to only accept traffic from a few different hosts by changing to configuration files of IMAPD and running it as a standalone version....? (How is it with security leaks in IMAPD, have there been found quite a lot..?) Thanks in advance..
