SquirrelMail IMAP Proxy could be changed to block a list of IMAP commands, but it would be better if you created a list of commands that were acceptable and block all others. Still, keep in mind that even "innocent" commands such as that to read a message can make changes in the message store (in this case, potentially change a message state from unread to read). It's possible there could be worse examples. But, if someone wants to come up with a list of IMAP commands that would comprise a read-only proxy setup, I'd consider adding it since it looks somewhat trivial (FYI, ~line 1354 in Raw_Proxy() in src/request.c). I'm not sure, however, if there would be other ill effects (for example, responding "NO" or "BAD" to disallowed commands might confuse the client, as would issuing a faked (dishonest) "OK" response). > And if someone could make the configuration and provide a server to run > that experiment? BTW, you'd want to configure auth_sasl_plain_username, auth_sasl_plain_password and auth_shared_secret and give out the shared secret to anyone allowed to use the system.

Maybe you should collaborate to bring back gmane.org (oh wait, it's back). -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- squirrelmail-imapproxy mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: squirrelmail-imapproxy@lists.sourceforge.net List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.imapproxy List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-imapproxy
