First off, I would not recommend using this in a type of enviroment that
|
||
|
|
security is a really big concern. I am *NOT* saying that you shouldn't be
|
||
|
|
concerned about it, but, until the system is thoughly tested. I would not
|
||
|
|
recommend it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Becuase of the current methods that the email system works. It is required
|
||
|
|
that the users password is in the sessions table. IMAP needs the password
|
||
|
|
to verify the user. This is one of the main reasons for the stalesessions
|
||
|
|
program. I do not like keeping passwords in any medium that is not encryped.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The email system stores its file attachments in a temp directory. For right
|
||
|
|
now, you need to watch this directory because it can fill up very quickly.
|
||
|
|
If a user does not finsh composing the message (going else where in the program,
|
||
|
|
internet connection dieing, browser crash, etc) the file will sit there until
|
||
|
|
it is deleted. There will be a simple cron program to go through and clean
|
||
|
|
things up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The files/users and files/groups directories need to be writable by the UID
|
||
|
|
that php runs under (nobody or your apache UID). This is a security risk
|
||
|
|
if 3rd parties can place php or cgi scripts on your machine, because they
|
||
|
|
will have full read/write access to those directories.
|
||
|
|
You should also consider moving the files directory outside of the
|
||
|
|
tree your webserver has access to to prevent websurfers from directly accessing
|
||
|
|
the files, or add in .htaccess files to restrict access to that tree.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Besides this, there is nothing else that I am aware of. Let me know if you
|
||
|
|
find anything.
