Mailcow and MDM Possible?

cbritton

Does anyone know of a MDM that would work with Mailcow? We’ve been looking at NIST 800-171 standards and one of the standards is that mobile devices should have MFA for email. I am guessing a solution doesn’t exist. All the ones that I’ve seen integrate with Exchange server. We would have to go with GCC High and from what I can tell their prices are really high.

The main problem will be that the email protocols SMTP and IMAP simply don’t have any MFA integrated and defined, so no good news on that front. As mailcow basically only taking use of open-source software like dovecot and postfix to offer SMTP and IMAP capabilities, mailcow/MDM won’t help here I think.

Not sure how other companies, not using Exchange, are solving this. Maybe you know someone you can check with how they solved that?

pkernstock thank you for your reply. That’s kind of what I figured. I appreciate your help.
