If there is a better venue to ask this question then I would appreciate being informed of where that is. I am investigating how to authenticate smtp submission connections to our postfix server from our cyrus-imap server. In our case these two services reside on separate hosts. I have followed the postfix guide respecting configuring saslauthd to use imap (-O rimap) on a remote host. However, the postfix document rather cryptically warns that such authentication is enclaire and that an ssh tunnel between the smtp and imap hosts is advised. My question is how is this secure tunnel done / configured? Is there any way to use saslauth to directly connect via imaps on port 993? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
