Hi, Sam - i wouldn't mind changing that banner too. The reason - i don't
want people knowing what IMAP server i ran. Just like my postfix is giving
generic smtp banner. Even if i patch everything ontime, there maybe specific
scripted attacks. Now - i haven't seen any serious security issues with
Courier (thank you and all the other coders), so it's not an urgent problem,
but still
Well, security through obscurity is not very sound. Besides, hiding
what IMAP server you run, while allowing people to use insecure
clear-text protocols seems sort of like rearranging deck chairs on the
Titanic.
If your system is properly secured, it should not matter if people know
what IMAP server (or really any other server) you are running.
