Firewalld missing policies for imap and smtps
Last modified: 2016-11-03 17:00:51 EDT
Description of problem: firewalld currently makes polices for imaps and smtp available: /usr/lib/firewalld/services/imaps.xml /usr/lib/firewalld/services/smtp.xml However, they don't provide smtps or imap. Both smtps being SSL sockets, and imap support startTLS, so really they are both secure sockets anyway. I would expect such policies to be: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <service> <short>Mail over SSL (SMTPS)</short> <description>This option allows incoming SMTP mail delivery over SSL(SMTPS). If you need to allow remote hosts to connect directly to your machine to deliver mail, enable this option. You do not need to enable this if you collect your mail from your ISP's server by POP3 or IMAP, or if you use a tool such as fetchmail. Note that an improperly configured SMTP server can allow remote machines to use your server to send spam.</description> <port protocol="tcp" port="465"/> </service> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <service> <short>IMAP</short> <description>The Internet Message Access Protocol over SSL (IMAPs) allows a local client to access email on a remote server in a secure way. If you plan to provide a IMAP over SSL service (e.g. with dovecot), enable this option.</description> <port protocol="tcp" port="143"/> </service> This also applies to Fedora 21 and above as well.
IMAP added upstream in https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/pull/66 SMTPs added upstream in https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/pull/68
