Security and PostfixAdmin |
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the developers of PostfixAdmin believe the software to be |
|
|
|
|
|
secure, there is no guarantee that it will continue to do be so |
|
|
|
|
|
in the future - especially as new types of exploit are discovered. |
|
|
|
|
|
(After all, this software is without warranty!) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the event you do discover a vulnerability in this software, |
|
|
|
|
|
please report it to the development mailing list, or contact |
|
|
|
|
|
one of the developers directly. |

DATABASE USER SECURITY |
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may wish to consider the following : |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Postfix only requires READ access to the database tables. |
|
|
|
|
|
2. The virtual vacation support (if used) only needs to WRITE to |
|
|
|
|
|
the vacation_notification table (and read alias and vacation). |
|
|
|
|
|
3. PostfixAdmin itself needs to be able to READ and WRITE to |
|
|
|
|
|
all the tables. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the above, you can improve security by creating separate |
|
|
|
|
|
database user accounts for each of the above roles, and limit |
|
|
|
|
|
the permissions available to them as appropriate. |
|
|
|

FILE SYSTEM SECURITY |
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PostfixAdmin does not require write support on the underlying |
|
|
|
|
|
filesystem - aside from PHP creating session files. |
