5.1.1 Servidor IMAP/IMAPS

Objetivo

Instalar un servidor de e-mail que soporte el protocolo IMAPS.

Instalación

root@server:~# apt-get install dovecot-imapd

Configuración

Toda la configuración está almacenada en el archivo /etc/dovecot/local.conf.

root@server:~# touch /etc/dovecot/local.conf

El servidor de e-mail dovecot sólo acepta conexiones encriptadas vía TLS (Transport Layer Security) o SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Ambos requieren certificados digitales.

Los certificados SSL para dovecot son generados automáticamente durante la instalación. Sin embargo, podemos utilizar los Certificados ssl Auto-firmados que se generaron previamente:

/etc/dovecot/local.conf
##
## SSL settings
##

# SSL/TLS support: yes, no, required. <doc/wiki/SSL.txt>
#ssl = yes

# PEM encoded X.509 SSL/TLS certificate and private key. They're opened before
# dropping root privileges, so keep the key file unreadable by anyone but
# root. Included doc/mkcert.sh can be used to easily generate self-signed
# certificate, just make sure to update the domains in dovecot-openssl.cnf
#ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
#ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/server.key

# If key file is password protected, give the password here. Alternatively
# give it when starting dovecot with -p parameter. Since this file is often
# world-readable, you may want to place this setting instead to a different
# root owned 0600 file by using ssl_key_password = <path.
#ssl_key_password =

# [...]

La localización de los buzones de correo debe indicarse también, para evitar ambigüedades. En este caso se encuentran en un sub-directorio del directorio home de cada usuario llamada “Maildir”:

/etc/dovecot/local.conf
# [...]

##
## Mailbox locations and namespaces
##

# Location for users' mailboxes. The default is empty, which means that Dovecot
# tries to find the mailboxes automatically. This won't work if the user
# doesn't yet have any mail, so you should explicitly tell Dovecot the full
# location.
#
# If you're using mbox, giving a path to the INBOX file (eg. /var/mail/%u)
# isn't enough. You'll also need to tell Dovecot where the other mailboxes are
# kept. This is called the "root mail directory", and it must be the first
# path given in the mail_location setting.
#
# There are a few special variables you can use, eg.:
#
#   %u - username
#   %n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain
#   %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if there's no domain
#   %h - home directory
#
# See doc/wiki/Variables.txt for full list. Some examples:
#
#   mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
#   mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
#   mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%n
#
# <doc/wiki/MailLocation.txt>
#
#mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

# [...]

La configuracion de puede comprobar con el comando dovecot -n:

root@server:~# dovecot -n
# 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae i686 Debian 7.0
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location =
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk
  }
  mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  prefix =
}
passdb {
  driver = pam
}
protocols = " imap"
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/server.key
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}

Las ramas del árbol Maildir debe generarse a partir del home de cada usuario. Para esto, debe ser ejecutado el comando maildirmake.dovecot por cada usuario ya creado.

El comando más abajo muda la identidad del usuario corriente para un usuario “fribeiro” y crea la rama Maildir en el home del mismo usuario. Este comando debe repetirse con cada usuario ya existente:

root@server:~# su - fribeiro -c 'maildirmake.dovecot ~/Maildir'

Esta rama también debe ser creada sobre el directorio /etc/skel. El contenido de /etc/skelse utiliza como modelo para el directorio home de los usuarios que sean creados en el futuro. Así, cuando se activaran nuevos usuarios, las ramas de Maildir se generarían automáticamente:

root@server:~# maildirmake.dovecot /etc/skel/Maildir

Reiniciar el servidor:

root@server:~# service dovecot restart

Verificación

Verificar el servicio imap para las direcciones locales:

root@server:~# telnet 127.0.0.1 imap

Desde otro sistema, verificar si son rechazadas las conexiones IMAP simples sim TLS por ser consideradas inseguras, una vez se envíen las contraseñas en texto simple:

fribeiro@laptop:~$ telnet 192.168.1.100 imap
Trying 192.168.1.100...
Connected to 192.168.1.100.

a001 login fribeiro password
* BAD Error in IMAP command received by server.
a002 logout
* BYE Logging out
a002 OK Logout completed.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Sin embargo, las conexiones IMAPS deben ser aceptadas a partir de cualquier sistema:

fribeiro@laptop:~# openssl s_client -connect 192.168.1.100:imaps

Configuración de los clientes

Como verificación final, puede crearse una cuenta en un cliente de e-mail, como Thunderbird: Para esto, debe seleccionarse el protocolo IMAP, la conexión requiere TLS (puerto 143) o SSL (puerto 993) y la dirección será la del servidor (192.168.1.100 o mail.home.lan, en caso de que haya configurado previamente un Servidor DNS para la red local).

Si se configuró el acceso sin TLS o SSL, el acceso será negado:

Certificados auto-firmados

Dado que los certificados son auto-firmados, en los clientes e-mail aparecerá una ventana donde consta que no conocen la autoridad del certificado.

Una verificación debe indicar que el certificado utilizado es realmente el que queremos usar:

Una vez verificado el certificado, este podrá ser añadido a la lista de excepciones de seguridad.
