It isn’t often that good news makes headlines, especially in the security world. Dovecot bucked the trend earlier this month, with a cybersecurity audit that praised the mail server as “near-impenetrable”. Commendations like that are rarer than hens’ teeth. What can we learn from it?
Dovecot is a mail server. Not the kind that sends and receives mail, mind you. It’s an IMAP server – the kind that stores email received by another program (called a mail transfer agent) and gives it to programs like Outlook when they ask for it.
