Re: [IMail Forum] SYSLOG Server - Backdoor/DOS Target?

[Len Conrad]

Yes, Imail does function as a syslog. Using for my nas's.

ok, fine, that's confirmed, thanks

So is the fear justifie that syslog a DoS vulnerability for any cracker who just starts hosing down an Imail server with bogus syslog data?  Is there any way to access-control the Imail syslog server? to turn it off?

Have you ever tried the other way, having imail be a syslog client to a remote server?

thanks, Mike
