Terry Carmen articulated:
I need to make the IMAP interface of an Exchange 2000 server
available on the net, however I would like to give it a little
protection, and believe Dovecot's IMAP proxy might be appropriate.
Does anybody have a *really simple* config that would allow IMAP
pass-through to a single Exchange server?
The examples I've seen all assume some sort of load balancing, which
isn't an issue here, so I'd like to eliminate the need for an
unnecessary database server.
Does Dovecot do any cleanup of the IMAP commands that would be
useful in protecting Exchange (from this,
http://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2007-0221/ for example), or am I
barking up the wrong tree?
If Dovecot isn't helpful for this, can anybody point me to a better
resource?
An Exchange 2000 server is ancient. I wouldn't waste time with it
unless there was no possible way to get an updated version; ie, Exchange
server 2010.
The client won't pay for an Exchange update just to support a handful
of external IMAP users.
It works perfectly well internally, using a Postfix relayhost.
