How-to run your mail server
===========================
*Please note that this image is still in a very early stage. Do not use for
production!*
The mail server runs as a single Docker container. A volume should be mounted to ``/data`` for persistent storage. Simply setup Docker on your
server then run a container with the ``kaiyou/freeposte.io`` image:
```
docker run --name=freeposte -d \
-e POSTMASTER_ADDRESS=admin@your.tld \
-e MAIL_HOSTNAME=mail.your.tld \
-e SECRET_KEY=yourflasksecretkey \

Incoming e-mail
===============
Incoming e-mail is received by postfix, according to the workflow:
- ``smtpd`` receives the message;
- the domain is checked against the ``domains`` table;
- if the domain matches an active domain or the source address is allowed relay, continue;
- the mail is forwarded to Spamassassin, which appends some headers;
- the mail is fowarded to Dovecot using ``lmtp``;
- the local part and domain are checked against the ``users`` table;
- the user quota is checked;
- the mail is delivered to the local maildir.
TODO
====
The project is still at a very (very !) early stage.
This is more of a roadmap than a proper TODO list. Please poke me or pull
request if you would like to join the effort.
- [x] Import vmm configuration files and get a simple postfix/dovecot running with SQLite.
- [x] Add support for spamassassin.
- [ ] Add support for clamav.
- [ ] Learn from user-defined spam or ham.
- [ ] Draft a Web administration UI.
- [ ] Implement basic features from the free (as in beer) poste.io.
- [ ] Start using on a couple production mail servers.
- [ ] Implement some fancy features.
