No it's not. That's what firewalls are for. Firewall blocks all traffic to the web server, except port 80. Problem solved.
exscuse me? so you're saying that if they can only access the webserver (ie. port 80) no one could ever hack the box? if f.ex. one were to use a package like IMP (and the 10 other projects that go along with it) - there's a big chance that there's a security issue with one of them,
So, you don't use IMAP. That's what I've been saying all along.
You're just fooling for yourself if you think that adding this extra step magically solves all your security problems.courier-imap service. So If I were a security minded Admin, I would prefer to allow access to users Email via Imap - as it has the best security record of the options available.
