Re: How to install hServer Emai on Azure VM?

You can not use an Azure VM to send Mails, except if you have an enterprise agreement: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/troubleshoot-outbound-smtp-connectivity The Azure platform will block outbound SMTP connections on TCP port 25 for deployed VMs. This is to ensure better sec...

Hi there, sounds like the sendconnector you have set up is not feeling responsible for the mails you are sending. Please use a connector of type "Internet" and and have a look at the configuration options for smart hosts here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/mail-flow/connectors/send-conn...

Re: STARTTLS feedback?

I'm using a DH file for my openvpn server. It is generated during first time setup only and is a manual step (running the "build-dh" batch-file, which basically just uses openssl: "openssl dhparam -out PATH/dh2048.pem 2048"). The DH file is not included in the zip-file/setup there, but the step to b...

Re: STARTTLS feedback?

I would really like to have a log entry on validation failures (and validate every connection, not only on specified routes). If the connections with failures are not 20% but nearly zero, an option to enable hard-fail could be thought about. But if it is not logged we will never know how many certif...

Re: STARTTLS feedback?

If you do StartTLS for MX resolved delivery with fixed enforced cert validation, hmailserver will STOP WORKING. You'd have to deactivate startTLS for MX delivery to get him working again. And that's no option too. No one wants a not working hmailserver. I just suggested using a fallback to unencryp...

Re: STARTTLS feedback?

The only way to make StartTLS work is to have a database of valid certificates, and if the certificate exists in this database then StartTLS MUST get used. Something like a DNS server does. Does such a thing already exist? This would also require a secure connection to stop similar to DNS spoofing....

Okay, I get your point now. A Man in the middle could just prevent STARTTLS, that is correct.

Re: STARTTLS feedback?

Let me give you another reason why not validation the certificate is a mean thing: Virtually every postmaster is giving his certificate to one of the major CAs to have it signed and trusted by all clients. Browsers and Mail Clients do usually not trust selfsigned certificates for a reason. This lead...

Simple Question: Will the SSL handshake fail if a selfsigned and not trusted certificate is used from the MX-resolved server? If yes, NOK. An unencrypted connection is used where encryption would be possible. If no, OK. The server will continue encrypted although trust is not sure. The relay/rout p...

Re: STARTTLS - Next area needed most POLL

So what is StartTLS meant to achieve? With no cert verification, how could this possibly stop a man-in-the-middle attack? It's meant to provide a false sense of security just like SSL :D But seriously from what I gather the cert can still be verified as valid from the issuer so at least a secure li...
