Hey guys,
I want to start allowing my members to create their own email "username@warezthegfx.com".

But before i even attempt to make a move like this, i want to fully down pack my mail server, make sure it cant be easily targeted.

So i just wanted some help in what steps i should take to get the mail pretty secure. <3
Thanks for anyone who helps

To be honest, i dont know.
Its just the IMAP POP3 mail servers that are from cPanel by default i think.
Squirrelmail is installed on the server by default with cPanel.
 
enable SSL for ur IMAP & POP3. wrzhost has their own SSL certificate, u cud just ask them or u cud just signup for OpenSSL (free)
 
The only thing you can really do is use SSL and/or TLS on your connections.

So your SMTP port (sendmail) would not be SSL and would not require a valid user.
Your POP3/IMAP ports (dovecot) would be SSL/TLS and would require the login of a valid user.

All can be done in the config files and such, google for a tutorial there are plenty.
 
Ok, well thank you for the advice JmZ. I've found some way so i can automate webmail registration for my users with a single link, All i really need to do now is get off my ass :P

Thanks for all your help
