[Kolab-devel] reason for unencrypted services beeing enabled per default

Hi!

  Is there a particular reason, why the kolab services (imap, smtp, 
http, ldap) are configured to accept unencrypted connections per 
default? In case of smtp, the situation is clearly a bit more 
complicated, but postfix can be tweaked, to accept either unencrypted 
and unauthenticated connections (relaying or SMTP host) or only 
encrypted and authenticated (for kolab users). For the other services I 
can't think of a reason, why they should accept incoming connections in 
unencrypted form after the default installation.

  Kind regards,
   Silvan (silvan at kernelconcepts.de)
