<h2><a name="SMTP_Security"></a>SMTP Security</h2>
<p>Apache James Server is configured by default to avoid being an SMTP open-relay.</p>
<p>SMTP Auth and &quot;Verify Identity&quot; options are enabled when you install James (<a href="config-smtp-lmtp.html">read more</a>).</p>
<p>SMTP outgoing traffic can be transmitted via SSL by default. Check <a class="externalLink" href="http://james.apache.org/server/dev-provided-mailets.html#RemoteDelivery">RemoteDelivery</a> documentation for
further explanations.</p>

<h3><a name="Apache_James_3.0.0"></a>Apache James 3.0.0</h3>
<p>The Apache James Server version 3.0.0 is vulnerable to Java deserialization issues.</p>
<p>One can use this for privilege escalation.</p>
<p>This issue can be mitigated by:</p>
<ul>
<li>Upgrading to James 3.0.1</li>
<li>Using a recent JRE (Exploit could not be reproduced on OpenJdk 8 u141)</li>
<li>Exposing JMX socket only to localhost (default behaviour)</li>
<li>Possibly running James in a container</li>
</ul>
