+Freeposte.io
+============
+
+Simple yet functional and full-featured mail server as a single Docker image.
+The idea behing Freeposte.io is identical to motivations that led to poste.io:
+even though it looks like a Docker anti-pattern, single upgradable image
+running a full-featured mail server is a truly amazing advantage for hosting
+mails on modern cloud services or home-brewed Docker servers.
+
+People from poste.io did an amazing job at accomplishing this ; any company
+looking for a serious yet simple mail server with professional support should
+turn to them.
+
+This project is meant for free software supporters and hackers to reach the
+same level of functionality and still be able to host a complete mail server
+at little cost while running only FOSS, applying the KISS principle and being
+able to fine-tune some details if needed.
+
+Architecture
+============
+
+The mail infrastructure is based on a standard MTA-LDA :
+
+ * Postfix with an SQL database for transport ;
+ * Dovecot with an SQL database for delivery and access ;
+ * Spamassassin for spam filtering ;
+ * ClamAV for malware filtering.
+
+Additional Web UI :
+
+ * Roundcube Webmail (can easily be replaced) ;
+ * Administration UI based on Flask an VMM.
+
+The administration UI does not interact with the database directly but with
+VMM instead, which has a great API and already implements most features while
+providing solid configuration files for Postfix and Dovecot.
+
+Only authentication and authorization is managed directly by the Web
+administration UI.
+
+All components are monitored by supervisord.
+
+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.
+
+ - [ ] Import vmm configuration files and tune them to support spamassassin and clamav.
+ - [ ] Run a mail container with a simple  vmm command line.
+ - [ ] Draft a Web administration UI.
+ - [ ] Implement basic features from the free (as in beer) poste.io.
+ - [ ] Start using on a couple production mail servers.
+ - [ ] Find a proper way to maintain vmm without forking.
+ - [ ] Implement some fancy features.
