Hi all,

I successfully installed the qmailtoaster and am very happy so far. Now, I have a few questions that I need some help with. So if anyone knows how to do this or can point me to good documentation I would really appreciate the help.

I have installed a SSL certificate and got it working for apache, courier and qmail. Now, is it possible to enforce use of encryption for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP for everyone not on localhost - e.g. it would be silly to have horde/imp (installed on same server) to use STMP or IMAP over ssl, but everyone not working on webmail should have to.

For IMAP and POP3, simply stop the services. For SMTP, it's not that simple, and I don't know off hand.

Also, how would I go about enforcing the management webpages (qcontrol et al) and the webmail (I use horde instead of squirrel) to only use https? right now I can access them in both ways and I would like any attempt to access those sites without encryption to jump to https://xyz instead.

This is done using apache's rewrite module. First, be sure it's loaded:
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Then add the rewrite instructions to the appropriate conf files, e.g.:
/etc/httpd/conf/squirrelmail.conf:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*/webmail.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R]
<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
   Options None
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
   SSLRequireSSL
</Directory>

I would like everyone of my roaming users to always use the submission port 587 (and ssl). Can that be enforced, too?

Not that I'm aware of. While spamdyke does TLS and authentication, it doesn't appear to have an option to require TLS when authenticating. I've just posted a request for this feature on the spamdyke list. We'll see what Sam (the author) has to say about it.

There may be some other way I'm not aware of. Jake would probably know for sure.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Sure. Now it's your turn Martin. Will you please update the wiki with all of this when you're done? I'd like to see a new page under Configuration/Security that ties all of this stuff together. Are you up for it?
