I'm asking here (not debian-user) because I'm looking to set up a imap server behind my firewall which will be port forwarded from the firewall to an internal internet unrouteable ip address. I'd like to know:
Which is the most secure way: 1. to authenticate myself to my server 2. to transfer the mail from the server and which software packages should I focus on installing for the actual server and ssl layers ... etc ... I'm also curious i I only need to forward the imap and imap-ssl ports or if there are anymore that I need to worry about. I'm fairly new to imap but not to linux so I'm not going to need a whole howto. Just a few pointers. --mike
