Configuration reference
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
This page explains the variables found in ``mailu.env``.
|
|
In most cases ``mailu.env`` is setup correctly by the setup utility and can be left as-is.
|
|
However, some advanced settings or modifications can be done by modifying this file.
|
|
|
|
.. _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.
|
|
|
|
The ``TLS_FLAVOR`` sets how Mailu handles TLS connections. Setting this value to
|
|
``notls`` will cause Mailu not to server any web content! More on :ref:`tls_flavor`.
|
|
|
|
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 in following format: ``[HOST]:PORT``.
|
|
``RELAYUSER`` and ``RELAYPASSWORD`` can be used when authentication is needed.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.. _admin_account:
|
|
|
|
Admin account - automatic creation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
For administrative tasks, an admin user account will be needed. You can create it manually,
|
|
after deploying the system, or automatically.
|
|
To create it manually, follow the specific deployment method documentation.
|
|
|
|
To have the account created automatically, you just need to define a few environment variables:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
INITIAL_ADMIN_ACCOUNT = ``root`` The first part of the e-mail address (ROOT@example.com)
|
|
INITIAL_ADMIN_DOMAIN = ``example.com`` the domain appendix. Most probably identical to the DOMAIN variable
|
|
INITIAL_ADMIN_PW = ``password`` the chosen password for the user
|
|
|
|
Also, environment variable ``INITIAL_ADMIN_MODE`` defines how the code should behave when it will
|
|
try to create the admin user:
|
|
|
|
- ``create`` (default) Will try to create user and will raise an exception if present
|
|
- ``ifmissing``: if user exists, nothing happens, else it will be created
|
|
- ``update``: user is created or, if it exists, its password gets updated
|
|
|
|
Depending on your particular deployment you most probably will want to change the default.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The ``LOG_LEVEL`` setting is used by the python start-up scripts as a logging threshold.
|
|
Log messages equal or higher than this priority will be printed.
|
|
Can be one of: CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG or NOTSET.
|
|
See the `python docs`_ for more information.

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``)
