Hello,
This is strictly not about Linux, but since Linux users have a whole lot
of expertise in most other things, I thought I'd try asking here too.
I've been confused by a conversation I've had with an old I.T. veteran.
I asked him why he did not enable IMAP on his company's email server
(instead, allowing POP3/SMTP). His reply was that IMAP has security
concerns (but he did not specify what), and that IMAP was susceptible to
Directory Harvest Attacks.
I did some checking on the web, and found out that DHA is associated
with SMTP. Nowhere did IMAP come into the picture. Since I am not an
IMAP expert, I also did not want to challenge this IT pro who has at
least a good ten years more experience than me.
So now I'm looking for a second opinion from anyone on this list who
might be in the know.
I'd be grateful to anyone who can throw some light on the matter.
Thanks!
Kokhong
