Sorry for the burst of posts from me today, trying to do a little catchup and refocusing :) A few weeks back i was asking about the whole scenario of getting my server to go and retreive my mail and then serve it up to me locally via imap. Well, weekend before last i hurt my back in a way that meant i couldn't do anything much so i sat there with my laptop on the sofa and implemented it. I have: - postfix as my mta - fetchmail going off and getting my mail for me (every 5 minutes) - courier serving it back up locally via imap - squirrelmail serving it up via web when i'm away It seems to be working very well incidentally so thank you to the guidance i was given! I just want to know if i should be concerned about security at all. Currently, i have hardware nat on my router (well, software nat i guess - whatever it is it's on my router, which is also NOT my adsl gateway, it's on a different ip network to that). On the router that handles my internal network i have only opened up a port for squirrelmail, and that port is not 80, it's a port that i chose randomly so it wouldn't be quite so easy for someone to find. I've not yet implemented SSL on the squirrelmail login / connection since i got as far as i could with the time i had before having to work away. Is there anything i ought to review about this setup? Should i really be concerned about the lack of SSL to the web port? Thanks for any comments as always.
