-This repository helps to setup a ready-to-use chatmail instance
+This repository setups a ready-to-go 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).
 
-The setup is designed and optimized for providing chatmail accounts 
-for use by [Delta Chat apps](https://delta.chat).
+## Getting started 
 
-Chatmail accounts are automatically created by a first login, 
-after which the initially specified password is required for using them.

+4. run the deploy of the chat mail instance: 
 
     scripts/deploy.sh 
 
-   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.

+## DNS
 
-- `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. 
+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. 
 
+## 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.
