Mailu configuration settings ============================ .. _common_cfg: Common configuration -------------------- The ``SECRET_KEY`` **must** be changed for every setup and set to a 16 bytes randomly generated value. It is intended to secure authentication cookies among other critical uses. This can be generated with a utility such as *pwgen*, which can be installed on most Linux systems: .. code-block:: bash apt-get install pwgen pwgen 16 1 The ``DOMAIN`` holds the main e-mail domain for the server. This email domain is used for bounce emails, for generating the postmaster email and other technical addresses. The ``HOSTNAMES`` are all public hostnames for the mail server. Mailu supports a mail server with multiple hostnames. The first declared hostname is the main hostname and will be exposed over SMTP, IMAP, etc. The ``SUBNET`` defines the address range of the docker network used by Mailu. This should not conflict with any networks to which your system is connected. (Internal and external!). Normally this does not need to be changed, unless there is a conflict with existing networks. The ``POSTMASTER`` is the local part of the postmaster email address. It is recommended to setup a generic value and later configure a mail alias for that address. The ``AUTH_RATELIMIT`` holds a security setting for fighting attackers that try to guess user passwords. The value is the limit of requests that a single IP address can perform against IMAP, POP and SMTP authentication endpoints. Mail settings ------------- The ``MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT`` is the maximum size of a single email. It should not be too low to avoid dropping legitimate emails and should not be too high to avoid filling the disks with large junk emails. The ``RELAYNETS`` are network addresses for which mail is relayed for free with no authentication required. This should be used with great care. If you want other Docker services' outbound mail to be relayed, you can set this to ``172.16.0.0/12`` to include **all** Docker networks. The default is to leave this empty. The ``RELAYHOST`` is an optional address of a mail server relaying all outgoing mail. The ``FETCHMAIL_DELAY`` is a delay (in seconds) for the fetchmail service to go and fetch new email if available. Do not use too short delays if you do not want to be blacklisted by external services, but not too long delays if you want to receive your email in time. The ``RECIPIENT_DELIMITED`` is a character used to delimit localpart from a custom address part. For instance, if set to ``+``, users can use addresses like ``localpart+custom@domain.tld`` to deliver mail to ``localpart@domain.tld``. This is useful to provide external parties with different email addresses and later classify incoming mail based on the custom part. The ``DMARC_RUA`` and ``DMARC_RUF`` are DMARC protocol specific values. They hold the localpart for DMARC rua and ruf email addresses. Web settings ------------ The ``WEB_ADMIN`` contains the path to the main admin interface, while ``WEB_WEBMAIL`` contains the path to the Web email client. The ``WEBROOT_REDIRECT`` redirects all non-found queries to the set path. An empty ``WEBROOT_REDIRECT`` value disables redirecting and enables classic behavior of a 404 result when not found. All three options need a leading slash (``/``) to work. .. note:: ``WEBROOT_REDIRECT`` has to point to a valid path on the webserver. This means it cannot point to any services which are not enabled. For example, don't point it to ``/webmail`` when ``WEBMAIL=none`` Both ``SITENAME`` and ``WEBSITE`` are customization options for the panel menu in the admin interface, while ``SITENAME`` is a customization option for every Web interface. Advanced settings ----------------- The ``PASSWORD_SCHEME`` is the password encryption scheme. You should use the default value, unless you are importing password from a separate system and want to keep using the old password encryption scheme. Infrastructure settings ----------------------- Various environment variables ``HOST_*`` can be used to run Mailu containers separately from a supported orchestrator. It is used by the various components to find the location of the other containers it depends on. They can contain an optional port number. Those variables are: - ``HOST_IMAP``: the container that is running the IMAP server (default: ``imap``, port 143) - ``HOST_LMTP``: the container that is running the LMTP server (default: ``imap:2525``) - ``HOST_HOSTIMAP``: the container that is running the IMAP server for the webmail (default: ``imap``, port 10143) - ``HOST_POP3``: the container that is running the POP3 server (default: ``imap``, port 110) - ``HOST_SMTP``: the container that is running the SMTP server (default: ``smtp``, port 25) - ``HOST_AUTHSMTP``: the container that is running the authenticated SMTP server for the webnmail (default: ``smtp``, port 10025) - ``HOST_ADMIN``: the container that is running the admin interface (default: ``admin``) - ``HOST_ANTISPAM``: the container that is running the antispam service (default: ``antispam:11334``) - ``HOST_WEBMAIL``: the container that is running the webmail (default: ``webmail``) - ``HOST_WEBDAV``: the container that is running the webdav server (default: ``webdav:5232``) - ``HOST_REDIS``: the container that is running the redis daemon (default: ``redis``) Additional variables are used to locate other containers without dialing a specific port number. It is used to either whitelist connection from these addresses or connect to containers on the docker network: - ``FRONT_ADDRESS``: the nginx container address (default: ``front``) - ``WEBMAIL_ADDRESS``: the webmail container address (default: ``webmail``) - ``IMAP_ADDRESS``: the webmail container address (default: ``webmail``)
