We use a postfix/postgres solution that allowed me to develop a pretty cool
interface in cold fusion. Lately I have lately been working on a .NET IMAP
Client so that I can move the WebMail/MainAdmin over to .NET/Mono. Anyway it
runs great no problems and allows our techs and users similar levels of self
administration that Imail allowed (Accounts & Aliases with limits, etc.) It
took a bit to setup but I think it was worth it and we didn't have to go out
and buy quad Xeon machines, like we did with IMail, to handle a decent load.

Subject: [IMGate] Imail POP3 brute force attack

Has anyone seen a brute force POP3 attack on their Imail in recent weeks? We
have seen 2 in the last month. Each attack originates from a DSL IP address.
Once from Mexico and this am from PacBell land, not that geographic location
means anything. Only fix seems to be blocking the IP address at border.
Imail version is 8.05. Symptoms are open socket count skyrocketing and
normal POP3 calls failing for lack of sockets.

Not keen on upgrading Imail due to webmail issues and other issues noted on
Imail list. I have no desire to be a beta tester for IPSwitch. Been thinking
of moving over to a *nix solution.

Thoughts?
