What it sounds like your asking is something that will automatically
give you results against this type of target in the form of a tool and
or a basic formula.
To answer your first question:
I am task with testing user accounts on our mail system.
The use of SMTP command may help you - expn or vrfy will help you in
enumerating accounts.
Looking at google for email accounts from the domain may help also.
Is pop3 or any other type of _mail_service available from the external
world?
We currently have two systems Exchange,
Since they are running exchange what about ms07-026 vulns or older
exchange vulns?
and OpenMail for Linux which is on the DMZ.
What about getting a copy of openmail and looking at how it works?
What other services are running?
We are interested in finding out how easy it might be for someone to
guess the password of one or our users account.
It would be fairly easy if there isn't a password policy enforced on the
system and one user has a simple password.
Have you tried mining google for email addresses and then using vrfy
against the mail server or sending email to the email address to see if
it bounces(so you can validate what account you would like to brute
force)?
I guess your request really sounds like a request to just get a formula
for a blackbox / common pentest type endeavor which a response could
follow many basic threads of how to start doing some type of recon
against the target.
What have you tried and what is your attack strategy so far?
I haven't checked what nasl scripts would aid in openmail, but I think
nessus would be your basic shotgun approach, but could lead you down the
incorrect path.
If you have any idea of how openmail works you could bruteforce
directories or something you know about that may be tied to some type of
response that clues you into the fact that an account is available or
not available.
If you try to login to openmail do you get differing responses depending
if a password simply failed for a user, or if the username and password
was incorrect? Does anything in the response or webpage(if there is one
I don't even know) give you any clues in seeing if you are attempting to
login as a user that exists versus one that does not exist>?)

I am task with testing user accounts on our mail system. We currently
have two systems Exchange, and OpenMail for Linux which is on the DMZ.
We are interested in finding out how easy it might be for someone to
guess the password of one or our users account.
And if the are sucessful what can the do on the linux box, with that
username and password.
We have a main site with a link to the webmail system from there, ifi
want to test this which tool might be the best for doing this since its
a link and not the main page?
Thanks in advance
