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 ----------------- Whether to enable nixos-mailserver. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``False`` mailserver.enableImap --------------------- Whether to enable IMAP with STARTTLS on port 143. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``True`` mailserver.enableImapSsl ------------------------ Whether to enable IMAP with TLS in wrapper-mode on port 993. - 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`` mailserver.enablePop3Ssl ------------------------ Whether to enable POP3 with TLS in wrapper-mode on port 995. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``False`` mailserver.enableSubmission --------------------------- Whether to enable SMTP with STARTTLS on port 587. - Type: ``boolean`` - 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"` means that all mail to `info@example.com` is forwarded to `user1@example.com`. Note that it is expected that `postmaster@example.com` and `abuse@example.com` is forwarded to some valid email address. (Alternatively you can create login accounts for `postmaster` and (or) `abuse`). Furthermore, it also allows the user `user1@example.com` to send emails as `info@example.com`. It's also possible to create an alias for multiple accounts. In this example all mails for `multi@example.com` will be forwarded to both `user1@example.com` and `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` are forwarded to `user@elsewhere.com`. The difference with the `extraVirtualAliases` option is that `user@elsewhere.com` can't send mail as `user@example.com`. Also, this option 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 ----------------------- Automatically open ports in the firewall. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``True`` mailserver.policydSPFExtraConfig -------------------------------- Extra configuration options for policyd-spf. This can be use to among 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. Use if a spammer has found email addresses in a catchall domain but you do not want to disable the catchall. - Type: ``list of strings`` - Default: ``[]`` mailserver.rejectSender ----------------------- Reject emails from these addresses from unauthorized senders. Use if a spammer is using the same domain or the same sender over and over. - Type: ``list of strings`` - Default: ``[]`` mailserver.rewriteMessageId --------------------------- Rewrites the Message-ID's hostname-part of outgoing emails to the FQDN. Please be aware that this may cause problems with some mail clients 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` (which, for SSL reasons, should generally be the name 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`` mailserver.sieveDirectory ------------------------- Where to store the sieve scripts. - Type: ``path`` - Default: ``/var/sieve`` mailserver.useFsLayout ---------------------- Sets whether dovecot should organize mail in subdirectories: - /var/vmail/example.com/user/.folder.subfolder/ (default layout) - /var/vmail/example.com/user/folder/subfolder/ (FS layout) See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir for details. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``False`` mailserver.virusScanning ------------------------ Whether to activate virus scanning. Note that virus scanning is _very_ expensive memory wise. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``False`` mailserver.vmailGroupName ------------------------- The user name and group name of the user that owns the directory where all the mail is stored. - Type: ``string`` - Default: ``virtualMail`` mailserver.vmailUID ------------------- The unix UID of the virtual mail user. Be mindful that if this is changed, you will need to manually adjust the permissions of mailDirectory. - Type: ``signed integer`` - Default: ``5000`` mailserver.vmailUserName ------------------------ The user name and group name of the user that owns the directory where all the mail is stored. - Type: ``string`` - Default: ``virtualMail`` mailserver.loginAccount ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mailserver.loginAccounts ------------------------ The login account of the domain. Every account is mapped to a unix user, e.g. `user1@example.com`. To generate the passwords use `htpasswd` as follows ``` nix run nixpkgs.apacheHttpd -c htpasswd -nbB "" "super secret password" | cut -d: -f2 ``` - Type: ``attribute set of submodules`` - Default: ``{}`` mailserver.loginAccounts..aliases --------------------------------------- A list of aliases of this login account. Note: Use list entries like "@example.com" to create a catchAll that allows sending from all email addresses in these domain. - Type: ``list of strings`` - Default: ``[]`` mailserver.loginAccounts..catchAll ---------------------------------------- For which domains should this account act as a catch all? Note: Does not allow sending from all addresses of these domains. - Type: ``list of impossible (empty enum)s`` - Default: ``[]`` mailserver.loginAccounts..hashedPassword ---------------------------------------------- The user's hashed password. Use `htpasswd` as follows ``` nix run nixpkgs.apacheHttpd -c htpasswd -nbB "" "super secret password" | cut -d: -f2 ``` Warning: this is stored in plaintext in the Nix store! Use `hashedPasswordFile` instead. - Type: ``null or string`` - Default: ``None`` mailserver.loginAccounts..hashedPasswordFile -------------------------------------------------- A file containing the user's hashed password. Use `htpasswd` as follows ``` nix run nixpkgs.apacheHttpd -c htpasswd -nbB "" "super secret password" | cut -d: -f2 ``` - Type: ``null or path`` - Default: ``None`` mailserver.loginAccounts..name ------------------------------------ Username - Type: ``string`` mailserver.loginAccounts..quota ------------------------------------- Per user quota rules. Accepted sizes are `xx k/M/G/T` with the obvious meaning. Leave blank for the standard quota `100G`. - Type: ``null or string`` - Default: ``None`` mailserver.loginAccounts..sendOnly ---------------------------------------- Specifies if the account should be a send-only account. Emails sent to send-only accounts will be rejected from unauthorized senders with the sendOnlyRejectMessage stating the reason. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``False`` mailserver.loginAccounts..sendOnlyRejectMessage ----------------------------------------------------- The message that will be returned to the sender when an email is sent to a send-only account. Only used if the account is marked as send-only. - Type: ``string`` - Default: ``This account cannot receive emails.`` mailserver.loginAccounts..sieveScript ------------------------------------------- Per-user sieve script. - Type: ``null or strings concatenated with "\n"`` - Default: ``None`` mailserver.certificate ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mailserver.certificateDirectory ------------------------------- Scheme 2) This is the folder where the certificate will be created. The name is hardcoded to "cert-DOMAIN.pem" and "key-DOMAIN.pem" and the certificate is valid for 10 years. - Type: ``path`` - Default: ``/var/certs`` mailserver.certificateDomains ----------------------------- Secondary domains and subdomains for which it is necessary to generate a certificate. - Type: ``list of strings`` - Default: ``[]`` mailserver.certificateFile -------------------------- Scheme 1) Location of the certificate - Type: ``path`` mailserver.certificateScheme ---------------------------- Certificate Files. There are three options for these. 1) You specify locations and manually copy certificates there. 2) You let the server create new (self signed) certificates on the fly. 3) You let the server create a certificate via `Let's Encrypt`. Note that this implies that a stripped down webserver has to be started. This also implies that the FQDN must be set as an `A` record to point to the IP of the server. In particular port 80 on the server will be opened. For details on how to set up the domain records, see the guide in the readme. - Type: ``one of 1, 2, 3`` - Default: ``2`` mailserver.dkim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mailserver.dkimBodyCanonicalization ----------------------------------- DKIM canonicalization algorithm for message bodies.

RFC6376 advises minimum 1024-bit keys. If you have already deployed a key with a different number of bits than specified here, then you should use a different selector (dkimSelector). In order to get this package to generate a key with the new number of bits, you will either have to change the selector or delete the old key file. - Type: ``signed integer`` - Default: ``1024`` mailserver.dkimKeyDirectory --------------------------- - Type: ``path`` - Default: ``/var/dkim`` mailserver.dkimSelector ----------------------- - Type: ``string`` - Default: ``mail`` mailserver.dkimSigning ---------------------- Whether to activate dkim signing. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``True`` mailserver.fullTextSearch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mailserver.fullTextSearch.autoIndex ----------------------------------- Enable automatic indexing of messages as they are received or modified. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``True`` mailserver.fullTextSearch.autoIndexExclude ------------------------------------------ Mailboxes to exclude from automatic indexing. - Type: ``list of strings`` - Default: ``[]`` mailserver.fullTextSearch.enable -------------------------------- Whether to enable Full text search indexing with xapian. This has significant performance and disk space cost.. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``False`` mailserver.fullTextSearch.enforced ---------------------------------- Fail searches when no index is available. If set to body, then only body searches (as opposed to header) are affected. If set to no, searches may fall back to a very slow brute force search. - Type: ``one of "yes", "no", "body"`` - Default: ``no`` mailserver.fullTextSearch.indexAttachments ------------------------------------------ Also index text-only attachements. Binary attachements are never indexed. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``False`` mailserver.fullTextSearch.maintenance.enable -------------------------------------------- Regularly optmize indices, as recommended by upstream. - Type: ``boolean`` - Default: ``True`` mailserver.fullTextSearch.maintenance.onCalendar ------------------------------------------------ When to run the maintenance job.
