{% call macros.panel("info", "Step 2 - expose Mailu to the world") %}

A mail server must be exposed to the world to receive emails, send emails, and let users access their mailboxes. Mailu has some flexibility in the way you expose it to the world.

Among Mailu services, the front server is the one accepting connections, be it directly from the outside world, through a reverse proxy or in any complex configuration that you might want to setup. It needs to listen on some IP addresses in order to expose its public services. You must at least setup an IPv4 or an IPv6 address if you wish to access Mailu.

Warning You must use specific addresses, please avoid generic all-interfaces addresses like 0.0.0.0 or ::.
