Web Based e-mail servers
I am running SuSe 7.0, and I have a couple of questions... 1.) I have been asked by one of my customers to setup a logging function to log all inbound and outbound e-mails that are being sent through their server. What program would be good for this? 2.) I would like to setup a web based e-mail server for my customers so they can get their mail off the web. What is a good program to use and how secure is this? --Brian --Chosen1 Network Operations Administrator (COO) Postmaster and Routing lead Admin of beer.wa.us.ircsol.net /server beer.ircsol.net and Admin of unix.az.us.ircsol.net /server unix.ircsol.net http://www.ircsol.net

What do you want to log? Just senders and receivers? Almost any mailer will do that. If you mean log the entire mail, as in message text, you might want to look at dug songs dsniff and get a real good lawyer. ;-)

If you want a web interface, IMP is pretty good (www.horde.org). It'll work with IMAP servers. I don't know about POP servers. It supports SSL etc. and has a nice look.

I've done a lot of work, including custom source tweaks to certain user utilities, to prevent my users from getting to the /etc/passwd file, but yet, still give them important functions in their shell account, like gcc. My efforts are successful until I run nscd. Because nscd is running as root, he provides user names for all uids which exist, if a user compiles and runs this simple C program:
#include <stdio.h> #include <pwd.h>
struct passwd *user;
int main (int argc, char **argv) {
int uid;
for (uid = 0; uid < 65535; uid++) { user = getpwuid (uid); if (user != NULL) printf ("Found uid %d with name %s\n", uid, user->pw_name); }
This trivial example defeats my efforts to prevent users from getting a list of other users. So now I must stop running nscd, since he runs as root. Unless someone knows of a solution to this dilemma? Egan

Postfix has always_bcc for this. Make sure that you or your customer is legally allowed to do this in the country where it is done!

Either use IMP/Horde/Cyrus and do it yourself or get the SuSE IMAP Server which is a steal compared to the cost of doing it yourself. cheers afx -- atsec information security GmbH Phone: +49-89-44249830 Steinstrasse 68 Fax: +49-89-44249831 D-81667 Muenchen, Germany WWW: www.atsec.com May the Source be with you!
