2 \gdef\currentsectionname{MailServers}
3 This section documents the most common mail servers. Mail servers may usually be
4 grouped into three categories:
6 \item the mail submission agent (MSA)
7 \item the mail transfer agent (MTA)/mail exchanger (MX)
8 \item the mail delivery agent (MDA)
11 An e-mail client (mail user agent, MUA) submits mail to the MSA. This is usually
12 been done using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Afterwards, the mail
13 is transmitted by the MTA over the Internet to the MTA of the receiver. This
14 happens again via SMTP. Finally, the mail client of the receiver will fetch mail
15 from an MDA usually via the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or the Post
16 Office Protocol (POP).
18 As MSAs and MTAs both use SMTP as transfer protocols, both functionalities may
19 often may be implemented with the same software. On the other hand, MDA software
20 may or may not implement both IMAP and POP.
22 %% ----------------------------------------------------------------------
23 \subsection{TLS usage in mail server protocols}
25 E-mail protocols support TLS in two different ways. It may be added as a
26 protocol wrapper on a different port. This method is referred to as Implicit TLS
27 or as protocol variants SMTPS, IMAPS and POP3S. The other method is to establish
28 a cleartext session first and switch to TLS afterwards by issuing the STARTTLS
31 SMTP between MTAs usually makes use of opportunistic TLS. This means that an
32 MTA will accept TLS connections when asked for it but will not require it.
33 MTAs should always try opportunistic TLS handshakes outgoing and always accept
34 incoming opportunistic TLS.
36 %% ----------------------------------------------------------------------
37 \subsection{Recommended configuration}
38 % TODO: Check configurations for compliance
40 We recommend to use the following settings for Mail Transfer Agents:
42 \item correctly setup MX, A and PTR RRs without using CNAMEs at all.
43 \item the hostname used as HELO/EHLO in outgoing mail shall match the PTR RR
44 \item enable opportunistic TLS, using the STARTTLS mechanism on port 25
45 \item Implicit TLS on port 465 may be offered additionally
46 \item use server and client certificates (most server certificates are client
48 \item either the common name or at least an alternate subject name of the
49 certificate shall match the PTR RR (client mode) or the MX RR (server mode)
50 \item do not use self signed certificates
51 \item accept all cipher suites, as the alternative would be to fall back to
52 cleartext transmission
55 For MSA operation we recommend:
57 \item listen on submission port 587 with mandatory STARTTLS
58 \item optionally listen on port 465 with Implicit TLS
59 \item enforce SMTP AUTH even for local networks
60 \item ensure that SMTP AUTH is not allowed on unencrypted connections
61 \item use the recommended cipher suites if all connecting MUAs support them
64 For MDA operation we recommend:
66 \item listen on the protocol port (143 for IMAP, 110 for POP3) with mandatory
68 \item optionally listen on Implicit TLS ports (993 for IMAPS, 995 for POP3S)
69 \item enforce authentication even for local networks
70 \item make sure that authentication is not allowed on unencrypted connections
71 \item use the recommended cipher suites if all connecting MUAs support them

138 \subsubsection{Tested with Versions}
143 \subsubsection{Settings}
145 To activate SSL/TLS configure your certificate with
146 \configfile{imapd.conf}{206-206,209-209}{Activating TLS in cyrus}
148 Do not forget to add necessary intermediate certificates to the .pem file.
150 Limiting the ciphers provided may force (especially older) clients to connect without encryption at all! Sticking to the defaults is recommended.
152 If you still want to force strong encryption use
153 \configfile{imapd.conf}{263-263}{TLS cipher selection in cyrus}
155 cyrus-imapd loads hardcoded 1024 bit DH parameters using get\_rfc2409\_prime\_1024() by default. If you want to load your own DH parameters add them PEM encoded to the certificate file given in tls\_cert\_file. Do not forget to re-add them after updating your certificate.
157 To prevent unencrypted connections on the STARTTLS ports you can set
158 \configfile{imapd.conf}{131-131}{Force encrypted connections in cyrus}
159 This way MUAs can only authenticate with plain text authentication schemes after issuing the STARTTLS command. Providing CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 methods is not recommended.
161 To support POP3/IMAP on ports 110/143 with STARTTLS and POP3S/IMAPS on ports
162 995/993 check the SERVICES section in \texttt{cyrus.conf}
163 \configfile{cyrus.conf}{28-28,31-34,71-71}{STARTTLS for POP3/IMAP and POP3S/IMAPS in cyrus}
166 \subsubsection{Limitations}
167 cyrus-imapd currently (2.4.17, trunk) does not support elliptic curve cryptography. Hence, ECDHE will not work even if defined in your cipher list.
169 Currently there is no way to prefer server ciphers or to disable compression.

189 \subsubsection{Tested with Versions}
191 \item Postfix 2.9.6, Debian Wheezy with OpenSSL 1.0.1e
192 \item Postfix 2.11.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.02 with OpenSSL 1.0.1f
196 \subsubsection{Settings}
198 Postfix has five internal lists of ciphers, and the possibility to switch
199 between those with \emph{smtpd\_tls\_ciphers}. However, we leave this at its
200 default value for server to server connections, as many mail servers only
201 support outdated protocols and ciphers. We consider bad encryption still better
202 than plain text transmission. For connections to MUAs, TLS is mandatory and the
203 ciphersuite is modified.
205 %% I (cm) consider the generation of own DH parameters to be voodoo until
206 %% someone can explain the contrary. They are, after all, public, and
207 %% I found no research that would show that long-term use of a
208 %% parameter set would weaken the DH exchange. Also notice that IPSEC
209 %% uses fixed parameter sets only.
211 %% also notice the following comment from src/tls/tls_dh.c:
212 %% * Compiled-in EDH primes (the compiled-in generator is always 2). These are
213 %% * used when no parameters are explicitly loaded from a site-specific file.
215 %% * 512-bit parameters are used for export ciphers, and 1024-bit parameters are
216 %% * used for non-export ciphers. An ~80-bit strong EDH key exchange is really
217 %% * too weak to protect 128+ bit keys, but larger DH primes are
218 %% * computationally expensive. When greater security is required, use EECDH.
220 %% First, you need to generate Diffie Hellman parameters (please first take a look at the section \ref{section:RNGs}):
222 %% \todo{FIXME: this is a really weak setting! See also: http://postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/postfix-hardening-what-can-we-do-td61874.html}

225 %% % openssl gendh -out /etc/postfix/dh_param_1024.pem -2 1024
228 %% Next, we specify these DH parameters in \verb|main.cf|:
230 %% \begin{lstlisting}
231 %% smtpd_tls_dh512_param_file = /etc/postfix/dh_param_512.pem
232 %% smtpd_tls_dh1024_param_file = /etc/postfix/dh_param_1024.pem
235 \paragraph{MX and SMTP client configuration:}
236 As discussed in section \ref{subsection:smtp_general}, because of opportunistic
237 encryption we do not restrict the list of ciphers or protocols for communication
238 with other mail servers to avoid transmission in plain text. There are still
239 some steps needed to enable TLS, all in \verb|main.cf|:
241 \configfile{main.cf}{22-33}{Opportunistic TLS in Postfix}
244 For the MSA \verb|smtpd| process which communicates with mail clients, we first
245 define the ciphers that are acceptable for the ``mandatory'' security level,
246 again in \verb|main.cf|:
248 \configfile{main.cf}{35-37}{MSA TLS configuration in Postfix}
250 Then, we configure the MSA smtpd in \verb|master.cf| with two
251 additional options that are only used for this instance of smtpd:
253 \configfile{master.cf}{12-14}{MSA smtpd service configuration in Postfix}
255 For those users who want to use EECDH key exchange, it is possible to customize this via:
256 \configfile{main.cf}{38-38}{EECDH customization in Postfix}
257 The default value since Postfix 2.8 is ``strong''.
259 \subsubsection{Limitations}
260 tls\_ssl\_options is supported from Postfix 2.11 onwards. You can
261 leave the statement in the configuration for older versions, it will
264 tls\_preempt\_cipherlist is supported from Postfix 2.8 onwards. Again,
265 you can leave the statement in for older versions.
267 \subsubsection{References}
268 Refer to \url{http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html} for an in-depth
271 \subsubsection{Additional settings}
272 Postfix has two sets of built-in DH parameters that can be overridden
273 with the \verb|smtpd_tls_dh512_param_file|
274 and \verb|smtpd_tls_dh1024_param_file| options. The ``dh512''
275 parameters are used for export ciphers, while the ``dh1024'' ones are
276 used for all other ciphers.
278 The ``bit length'' in those parameter names is just a name, so one
279 could use stronger parameter sets; it should be possible to e.g. use the
280 IKE Group14 parameters (see section \ref{section:DH}) without much
281 interoperability risk, but we have not tested this yet.
283 % \subsubsection{Justification for special settings (if needed)}
284 % no special settings

308 \item Exim 4.82, Debian Jessie
309 \item Exim 4.82, Ubuntu 14.04.2 with OpenSSL 1.0.1e
313 It is highly recommended to read
314 \url{http://exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-encrypted_smtp_connections_using_tlsssl.html}
317 \paragraph{MSA mode (submission):}
318 In the main config section of Exim add:
319 \configfile{configure.msa}{153-154}{Certificate selection in Exim (MSA)}
320 Don't forget to add intermediate certificates to the .pem file if needed.
322 Tell Exim to advertise STARTTLS in the EHLO answer to everyone:
323 \configfile{configure.msa}{145-145}{TLS advertise in Exim (MSA)}
325 If you want to support legacy SMTPS on port 465, and STARTTLS on smtp(25)/submission(587) ports set
326 \configfile{configure.msa}{165-166}{STARTTLS and SMTPS in Exim (MSA)}
328 It is highly recommended to limit SMTP AUTH to SSL connections only. To do so add
329 \configfile{configure.msa}{813-813}{SSL-only authentication in Exim (MSA)}
330 to every authenticator defined.
332 Add the following rules on top of your acl\_smtp\_mail:
333 \configfile{configure.msa}{111-111,501-505}{Submission mode in Exim (MSA)}
334 This switches Exim to submission mode and allows addition of missing ``Message-ID'' and ``Date'' headers.
336 It is not advisable to restrict the default cipher list for MSA mode if you don't know all connecting MUAs. If you still want to define one please consult the Exim documentation or ask on the exim-users mailinglist.
337 % Exim maintainers do not recommend to change default ciphers
338 % I think we shouldn't, too
341 % tls_require_ciphers = <...recommended ciphersuite...>
344 The cipher used is written to the logfiles by default. You may want to add
346 log_selector = <whatever your log_selector already contains> +tls_certificate_verified +tls_peerdn +tls_sni
348 to get even more TLS information logged.
351 \paragraph{Server mode (incoming):}
352 In the main config section of Exim add:
353 \configfile{configure.server}{152-153}{Certificate selection in Exim (Server)}
354 don't forget to add intermediate certificates to the .pem file if needed.
356 Tell Exim to advertise STARTTLS in the EHLO answer to everyone:
357 \configfile{configure.server}{144-144}{TLS advertise in Exim (Server)}
359 Listen on smtp(25) port only
360 \configfile{configure.server}{166-166}{STARTTLS on SMTP in Exim (Server)}
362 It is not advisable to restrict the default cipher list for opportunistic encryption as used by SMTP. Do not use cipher lists recommended for HTTPS! If you still want to define one please consult the Exim documentation or ask on the exim-users mailinglist.
363 % Exim maintainers do not recommend to change default ciphers
367 % tls_require_ciphers = <...recommended ciphersuite...>
370 If you want to request and verify client certificates from sending hosts set
371 \configfile{configure.server}{154-155}{TLS certificate verifiaction in Exim (Server)}
373 tls\_try\_verify\_hosts only reports the result to your logfile. If you want to disconnect such clients you have to use
378 The cipher used is written to the logfiles by default. You may want to add
380 log_selector = <whatever your log_selector already contains> +tls_certificate_verified +tls_peerdn +tls_sni
382 to get even more TLS information logged.
384 \paragraph{Client mode (outgoing):}
385 Exim uses opportunistic encryption in the SMTP transport by default.
387 Client mode settings have to be done in the configuration section of the smtp transport (driver = smtp).
389 If you want to use a client certificate (most server certificates can be used as client certificate, too) set
390 \configfile{configure.client}{152-153}{Certificate selection in Exim (Client)}
391 This is recommended for MTA-MTA traffic.
393 %If you want to limit used ciphers set
395 % tls_require_ciphers = <...recommended ciphersuite...>
397 % Exim Maintainers do not recommend ciphers. We shouldn't do so, too.
398 Do not limit ciphers without a very good reason. In the worst case you end up without encryption at all instead of some weak encryption. Please consult the Exim documentation if you really need to define ciphers.
401 Exim already disables SSLv2 by default. We recommend to add
403 openssl_options = +all +no_sslv2 +no_compression +cipher_server_preference
405 to the main configuration.
407 Note: +all is misleading here since OpenSSL only activates the most common workarounds. But that's how SSL\_OP\_ALL is defined.
409 You do not need to set dh\_parameters. Exim with OpenSSL by default uses parameter initialization with the "2048-bit MODP Group with 224-bit Prime Order Subgroup" defined in section 2.2 of RFC 5114~\cite{rfc5114} (ike23).
410 If you want to set your own DH parameters please read the TLS documentation of exim.
414 GnuTLS is different in only some respects to OpenSSL:
416 \item tls\_require\_ciphers needs a GnuTLS priority string instead of a cipher list. It is recommended to use the defaults by not defining this option. It highly depends on the version of GnuTLS used. Therefore it is not advisable to change the defaults.
417 \item There is no option like openssl\_options
420 \paragraph{Exim string expansion:}
421 Note that most of the options accept expansion strings. This way you can e.g. set cipher lists or STARTTLS advertisement conditionally. Please follow the link to the official Exim documentation to get more information.
423 \paragraph{Limitations:}
424 Exim currently (4.82) does not support elliptic curves with OpenSSL. This means that ECDHE is not used even if defined in your cipher list.
425 There already is a working patch to provide support:

499 After committing these changes in the CLI, you have to activate the use of TLS in several locations.
501 For inbound connections, first select the appropriate certificate in the settings of each listener you want to have TLS enabled on (Network -> Listeners, see figure \ref{fig:ach_ironport_listener_cert} on page \pageref{fig:ach_ironport_listener_cert}). Afterwards, for each listener, configure all Mail Flow Policies which have their Connection Behavior set to ``Accept'' or ``Relay'' to at least prefer TLS (Mail Policies -> Mail Flow Policies, see figure \ref{fig:ach_ironport_mail_flow_tls} on page \pageref{fig:ach_ironport_mail_flow_tls}). \\
502 It is recommended to also enable TLS in the default Mail Flow Policy, because these settings will be inherited by newly created policies, unless specifically overwritten. \\
503 TLS can be enforced by creating a new Mail Flow Policy with TLS set to ``required'', creating a new Sender Group defining the addresses of the sending mail servers for which you want to enforce encryption (Mail Policies -> HAT Overview) and using this new Sender Group in conjunction with the newly created Mail Flow Policy.

519 TLS settings for outbound connections have to be configured within the Destination Controls (Mail Policies -> Destination Controls). Chose the appropriate SSL certificate within the global settings and configure TLS to be preferred in the default profile to enable it for all outbound connections. After these two steps the Destination Control overview page should look like figure \ref{fig:ach_ironport_dest_control} on page \pageref{fig:ach_ironport_dest_control}.
520 To enforce TLS for a specific destination domain, add an entry to the Destination Control Table and set ``TLS Support'' to ``required''.

530 All current General Deployment AsyncOS releases use OpenSSL 0.9.8. Therefore TLS 1.2 is not supported and some of the suggested ciphers won't work. Starting with AsyncOS 9.5, which is available as Limited Deployment Release as of June 2015, TLS 1.2 is supported.\footnote{\url{http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/security/esa/esa9-5/ESA_9-5_Release_Notes.pdf}, Changed Behaviour, page 4} You can check the supported ciphers on the CLI by using the option \texttt{verify} from within the \texttt{sslconfig} command:
