Hi list
I am just experimenting with seting up my own email server. I want some tips and hints on how to secure my setup to prevent unauthorised assess to my email. I have read through the wiki and have not found many tips. I hope to improve the wiki with tips gathered from the emailing list. :-) A basic measurement I could take right now would be to set more secure file premissions on my setup. My setup is based on http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/VirtualhostingWithExim with a few addittions: fetchmail and exim4 deliver mail to my maildir and dovecot grants me access through imap. dovecot authenticates against /home/postmaster/passwd.digest and ./passwd.cram
