Mailserver Options
==================
mailserver
~~~~~~~~~~
mailserver.debug
----------------
Whether to enable verbose logging for mailserver related services. This
intended be used for development purposes only, you probably don't want
to enable this unless you're hacking on nixos-mailserver.
- Type: `` boolean ``
- Default: `` False ``
mailserver.domains
------------------
The domains that this mail server serves.
- Type: `` list of strings ``
- Default: `` [] ``
mailserver.enable
-----------------

- Type: `` boolean ``
- Default: `` True ``
mailserver.enableManageSieve

Whether to enable ManageSieve, setting this option to true will open
port 4190 in the firewall.
The ManageSieve protocol allows users to manage their Sieve scripts on
a remote server with a supported client, including Thunderbird.
- Type: `` boolean ``
- Default: `` False ``
mailserver.enablePop3
---------------------
Whether to enable POP3 with STARTTLS on port on port 110.
- Type: `` boolean ``
- Default: `` False ``

- Default: `` True ``
mailserver.enableSubmissionSsl
------------------------------
Whether to enable SMTP with TLS in wrapper-mode on port 465.
- Type: `` boolean ``
- Default: `` True ``
mailserver.extraVirtualAliases
------------------------------
Virtual Aliases. A virtual alias `"info@example.com" = "user1@example.com"`
all mail to `info@example.com` `user1@example.com`
that it is expected that `postmaster@example.com` `abuse@example.com`
forwarded to some valid email address. (Alternatively you can create login
accounts for `postmaster` `abuse`
the user `user1@example.com` `info@example.com`
It's also possible to create an alias for multiple accounts. In this
example all mails for `multi@example.com`
`user1@example.com` `user2@example.com`
- Type: `` attribute set of Login Account or non-empty list of Login Accountss ``
- Default: `` {} ``
mailserver.forwards
-------------------
To forward mails to an external address. For instance,
the value {`"user@example.com" = "user@elsewhere.com";}`
means that mails to `user@example.com`
`user@elsewhere.com`
`extraVirtualAliases` `user@elsewhere.com`
can't send mail as `user@example.com`
allows to forward mails to external addresses.
- Type: `` attribute set of list of strings or strings ``
- Default: `` {} ``
mailserver.fqdn
---------------
The fully qualified domain name of the mail server.
- Type: `` string ``
mailserver.hierarchySeparator
-----------------------------
The hierarchy separator for mailboxes used by dovecot for the namespace 'inbox'.
Dovecot defaults to "." but recommends "/".
This affects how mailboxes appear to mail clients and sieve scripts.
For instance when using "." then in a sieve script "example.com" would refer to the mailbox "com" in the parent mailbox "example".
This does not determine the way your mails are stored on disk.
See https://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces for details.
- Type: `` string ``
- Default: `` . ``
mailserver.indexDir
-------------------
Folder to store search indices. If null, indices are stored
along with email, which could not necessarily be desirable,
especially when the fullTextSearch option is enable since
indices it creates are voluminous and do not need to be backed
up.
Be careful when changing this option value since all indices
would be recreated at the new location (and clients would need
to resynchronize).
Note the some variables can be used in the file path. See
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/#variables
for details.
- Type: `` null or string ``
- Default: `` None ``
mailserver.keyFile
------------------
Scheme 1)
Location of the key file
- Type: `` path ``
mailserver.lmtpSaveToDetailMailbox
----------------------------------
If an email address is delimited by a "+", should it be filed into a
mailbox matching the string after the "+"? For example,
user1+test@example.com would be filed into the mailbox "test".
- Type: `` one of "yes", "no" ``
- Default: `` yes ``
mailserver.localDnsResolver
---------------------------
Runs a local DNS resolver (kresd) as recommended when running rspamd. This prevents your log file from filling up with rspamd_monitored_dns_mon entries.
- Type: `` boolean ``
- Default: `` True ``
mailserver.mailDirectory
------------------------
Where to store the mail.
- Type: `` path ``
- Default: `` /var/vmail ``
mailserver.mailboxes
--------------------
The mailboxes for dovecot.
Depending on the mail client used it might be necessary to change some mailbox's name.
- Type: `` unspecified ``
- Default: `` {'Drafts': {'auto': 'subscribe', 'specialUse': 'Drafts'}, 'Junk': {'auto': 'subscribe', 'specialUse': 'Junk'}, 'Sent': {'auto': 'subscribe', 'specialUse': 'Sent'}, 'Trash': {'auto': 'no', 'specialUse': 'Trash'}} ``
mailserver.maxConnectionsPerUser
--------------------------------
Maximum number of IMAP/POP3 connections allowed for a user from each IP address.
E.g. a value of 50 allows for 50 IMAP and 50 POP3 connections at the same
time for a single user.
- Type: `` signed integer ``
- Default: `` 100 ``
mailserver.messageSizeLimit
---------------------------
Message size limit enforced by Postfix.
- Type: `` signed integer ``
- Default: `` 20971520 ``
mailserver.openFirewall
-----------------------

other things skip spf checking for some IP addresses.
- Type: `` strings concatenated with "\n" ``
- Default: `` "" ``
mailserver.rebootAfterKernelUpgrade.enable
------------------------------------------
Whether to enable automatic reboot after kernel upgrades.
This is to be used in conjunction with system.autoUpgrade.enable = true"
- Type: `` boolean ``
- Default: `` False ``
mailserver.rebootAfterKernelUpgrade.method
------------------------------------------
Whether to issue a full "reboot" or just a "systemctl kexec"-only reboot.
It is recommended to use the default value because the quicker kexec reboot has a number of problems.
Also if your server is running in a virtual machine the regular reboot will already be very quick.
- Type: `` one of "reboot", "systemctl kexec" ``
- Default: `` reboot ``
mailserver.recipientDelimiter
-----------------------------
Configure the recipient delimiter.
- Type: `` string ``
- Default: `` + ``
mailserver.rejectRecipients
---------------------------
Reject emails addressed to these local addresses from unauthorized senders.

not want to disable the catchall.

relying on the original Message-ID.
- Type: `` boolean ``
- Default: `` False ``
mailserver.sendingFqdn
----------------------
The fully qualified domain name of the mail server used to
identify with remote servers.
If this server's IP serves purposes other than a mail server,
it may be desirable for the server to have a name other than
that to which the user will connect. For example, the user
might connect to mx.example.com, but the server's IP has
reverse DNS that resolves to myserver.example.com; in this
scenario, some mail servers may reject or penalize the
message.
This setting allows the server to identify as
myserver.example.com when forwarding mail, independently of
`fqdn`
to which the user connects).
Set this to the name to which the sending IP's reverse DNS
resolves.
- Type: `` string ``
- Default: `` config.mailserver.fqdn ``

Where to store the sieve scripts.
- Type: `` path ``
- Default: `` /var/sieve ``
