Hi there,
I'm struggling to get Postfix and Dovecot working as I'd like. I'd like Postfix to listen on port 587 and only accept connections over TLS as well as obviously accepting incoming emails on port 25. Likewise I'd like Dovecot to listen on port 143 and only accept connections over TLS, something I'd imagine to be a fairly common configuration. I've tried searching and reading documentation but seem to be going round in circles. I know that Postfix and Dovecot have a plethora of options for configuration and I'm worried that if I misconfigure them it could leave me open to spammers etc.
I'm using Ubuntu Server 12.04.3 LTS (64-bit) and started out by following the Ubuntu Server guide for Postfix (
here). I skipped the SMTP Authentication section and installed the Mail-Stack-Delivery package because I thought it would sort most of SASL configuration for me but it looks like there are no authentications mechanisms available.
Code:
EHLO myserver.com
250-myserver.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 52428800
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
I would appreciate a few pointers or even a link to a complete tutorial on how to setup Postfix/Dovecot for TLS. Thanks.
