# Chat Mail server configuration
|
||||
# Chatmail instances optimized for Delta Chat apps
|

|
||||
This repository setups a ready-to-go chatmail instance
|
||||
This repository helps to setup a ready-to-use chatmail instance
|
||||
comprised of a minimal setup of the battle-tested
|
||||
[postfix smtp server](https://www.postfix.org) and [dovecot imap server](https://www.dovecot.org).
|
||||
[postfix smtp](https://www.postfix.org) and [dovecot imap](https://www.dovecot.org) services.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting started
|
||||
The setup is designed and optimized for providing chatmail accounts
|
||||
for use by [Delta Chat apps](https://delta.chat).
|
||||
|
||||
1. prepare your local system:
|
||||
Chatmail accounts are automatically created by a first login,
|
||||
after which the initially specified password is required for using them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting Started deploying your own chatmail instance
|
||||
|
||||
1. Prepare your local (presumably Linux) system:
|
||||
|
||||
scripts/init.sh
|
||||
|
||||
2. setup a domain with `A` and `AAAA` records for your chatmail server

3. Set environment variable to the chatmail domain you want to setup:
|

export CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=c1.testrun.org # replace with your host

4. run the deploy of the chat mail instance:
|
||||
4. Deploy the chat mail instance to your chatmail server:
|
||||
|
||||
scripts/deploy.sh
|
||||
|
||||
5. run `scripts/generate-dns-zone.sh` and create the generated DNS records at your DNS provider
|
||||
This script uses `pyinfra` and `ssh` to setup packages and configure
|
||||
the chatmail instance on your remote server.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Run `scripts/generate-dns-zone.sh` and
|
||||
transfer the generated DNS records at your DNS provider
|
||||
|
||||
6. Start a Delta Chat app and create a new account
|
||||
by typing an e-mail address with an arbitrary username
|
||||
and `@<your-chatmail-domain>` appended.
|
||||
Use an at least 10-character random password.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Ports
|
||||
|
||||
Postfix listens on ports 25 (smtp) and 587 (submission) and 465 (submissions).
|
||||
Dovecot listens on ports 143(imap) and 993 (imaps).
|
||||
|
||||
Delta Chat will, however, discover all ports and configurations
|
||||
automatically by reading the `autoconfig.xml` file from the chatmail instance.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Emergency Commands to disable automatic account creation
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to stop account creation,
|
||||
e.g. because some script is wildly creating accounts, run:
|
||||
|
||||
touch /etc/chatmail-nocreate
|
||||
|
||||
While this file is present, account creation will be blocked.

### Ports
|

This repository drives the development of "chatmail instances",
|
||||
comprised of minimal setups of
|
||||
|
||||
Postfix listens on ports 25 (smtp) and 587 (submission) and 465 (submissions).

Dovecot listens on ports 143(imap) and 993 (imaps).

||||
- [postfix smtp server](https://www.postfix.org)
|
||||
- [dovecot imap server](https://www.dovecot.org)
|
||||
|
||||
## DNS
|
||||
as well as two custom services that are integrated with these two:
|
||||
|
||||
For DKIM you must add a DNS entry as found in /etc/opendkim/selector.txt on your chatmail instance.
|
||||
The above `scripts/deploy.sh` prints out the DKIM selector and DNS entry you
|
||||
need to setup with your DNS provider.
|
||||
- `chatmaild/src/chatmaild/dictproxy.py` implements
|
||||
create-on-login account creation semantics and is used
|
||||
by Dovecot during login authentication and by Postfix
|
||||
which in turn uses Dovecot SASL to authenticate users
|
||||
to send mails for them.
|
||||
|
||||
- `chatmaild/src/chatmaild/filtermail.py` prevents
|
||||
unencrypted e-mail from leaving the chatmail instance
|
||||
and is integrated into postfix's outbound mail pipelines.
|
||||
|
||||
## Emergency Commands
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to stop account creation,
|
||||
e.g. because some script is wildly creating accounts,
|
||||
just run `touch /tmp/nocreate`.
|
||||
You can remove the file
|
||||
as soon as the attacker was banned
|
||||
by different means.
