=============
mail.libre.is
=============
Documentation for Libre mail server.

Setting up Internet mail servers is a pain.
It's nothing like just setting up a web server...


Main Components
===============

This install is based on this guide:

  `<https://workaround.org/ispmail-bookworm/>`_

For more information and details about what is what,
refer to that site.

Dovecot

  `<https://dovecot.org/>`_


MariaDB


OpenDKIM

  `<http://www.opendkim.org/>`_

OpenDMARC

  `<http://www.trusteddomain.org/opendmarc/>`_

  `<https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenDMARC>`_

Postfix

  `<https://www.postfix.org/>`_


DNS
===
Add a DNS mx record, so it returns result like this:

.. code-block:: sh

  $ host -t mx libre.is
  libre.is mail is handled by 10 mail.libre.is.

Set IP for mail.libre.is.
Set up reverse DNS records.



Debian
======
Install Debian stable (bookworm).
Install rsyslog for old school convenience:

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo apt install rsyslog


Apache
======
The Apache webserver is used out of laziness as it allows easy
certificate updates with certbot. A webmail server won't be
running on the main mail server.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo apt install apache2
  echo "mail.libre.is" | sudo tee /var/www/html/index.html

Open up firewall ports 80 and 443.


MariaDB
=======
The main database server.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo apt install mariadb-server
  sudo mariadb-admin password
  mariadb -uroot -p

Add databases.
Change password to something secure.

.. code-block:: sql

  CREATE DATABASE mailserver;

  GRANT ALL ON mailserver.* TO 'mailadmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

  GRANT SELECT ON mailserver.* TO 'mailserver'@'127.0.0.1' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

  USE mailserver;

  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `virtual_domains` (
   `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
   `name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
   PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
   ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `virtual_users` (
   `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
   `domain_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `email` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
   `password` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
   `quota` bigint(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
   PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
   UNIQUE KEY `email` (`email`),
   FOREIGN KEY (domain_id) REFERENCES virtual_domains(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
   ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `virtual_aliases` (
   `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
   `domain_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `source` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
   `destination` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
   PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
   FOREIGN KEY (domain_id) REFERENCES virtual_domains(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
   ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

  EXIT


Postfix
=======
The main SMTP mail server.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo apt install postfix
  sudo apt install postfix-mysql

Set up postfix to use MariaDB.
Edit /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf
and add below, using the mailserver password used in MariaDB.

.. code-block:: cfg

  user = mailserver
  password = password
  hosts = 127.0.0.1
  dbname = mailserver
  query = SELECT 1 FROM virtual_domains WHERE name='%s'


Edit /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-maps.cf and add below contents:

.. code-block:: cfg

  user = mailserver
  password = password
  hosts = 127.0.0.1
  dbname = mailserver
  query = SELECT 1 FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%s'

Edit /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf and add below:

.. code-block:: cfg

  user = mailserver
  password = password
  hosts = 127.0.0.1
  dbname = mailserver
  query = SELECT destination FROM virtual_aliases WHERE source='%s'

Edit /etc/postfix/mysql-email2email.cf and add:

.. code-block:: cfg

  user = mailserver
  password = password
  hosts = 127.0.0.1
  dbname = mailserver
  query = SELECT email FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%s'

Then run these commands:

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo postconf \
    virtual_mailbox_domains=mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf
  sudo postconf \
    virtual_mailbox_maps=mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-maps.cf
  sudo postconf \
    virtual_alias_maps=mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf
  sudo postconf \
    virtual_alias_maps=mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf,mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-email2email.cf
  sudo chgrp postfix /etc/postfix/mysql-*.cf
  sudo chmod 640 /etc/postfix/mysql-*.cf


Redis
=====
Note, the licensing of Redis has gone bad. The version in Debian
is OK. But in the future, probably replace with a fork.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo apt install redis-server


rspamd
======
Spam control.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo apt install rspamd


Certbot
=======
Encryption certificates with Let's Encrypt.
Not using an Apache webserver on the mail server makes getting
new certificates a bit more complex.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo apt install certbot ca-certificates python3-certbot-apache
  sudo certbot -d mail.libre.is
  sudo systemctl restart apache2
  echo "post-hook = systemctl restart postfix dovecot apache2" | \
    sudo tee /etc/letsencrypt/cli.ini


Dovecot
=======
Just using encrypted IMAPS, not POP.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo apt install dovecot-mysql dovecot-pop3d dovecot-imapd \
    dovecot-managesieved dovecot-lmtpd

Note, since IPv6 isn't being used, the dovecot install barfs.
Edit /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and add this line, where appropriate:

.. code-block:: sh

  listen = *

Note, this is removing the "::" from listen, which using IPv6.
Then re-run the install so the packages are happy. Note, the re-install
won't overwrite the "listen" change.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo apt install --reinstall dovecot-mysql dovecot-pop3d dovecot-imapd \
    dovecot-managesieved dovecot-lmtpd

Add user and set up configs

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo groupadd -g 5000 vmail
  sudo useradd -g vmail -u 5000 vmail -d /var/vmail -m
  sudo chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail

  sudo sed -i -e \
    's/auth_mechanisms = plain/auth_mechanisms = plain login/g' \
    /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

  sudo sed -i -e \
    's/!include auth-system.conf.ext/#!include auth-system.conf.ext/g' \
    /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

  sudo sed -i -e \
    's/#!include auth-sql.conf.ext/!include auth-sql.conf.ext/g' \
    /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

  sudo sed -i -e \
    's/^mail_location.*/mail_location = maildir:~\/Maildir/g' \
    /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

  sudo sed -i -e \
    's/#mail_plugins =/mail_plugins = quota/g' \
    /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
  
Edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf and add:

.. code-block:: cfg

  # Postfix smtp-auth
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
    group = postfix
  }

Edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf, set key locations, and make it
required.

.. code-block:: cfg

  ssl = required
  ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.libre.is/fullchain.pem
  ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.libre.is/privkey.pem

Edit /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext file and add these lines at
the bottom, changing the password to the mailserver database password.

.. code-block:: cfg

  driver = mysql
  
  connect = \
    host=127.0.0.1 \
    dbname=mailserver \
    user=mailserver \
    password=password
  
  user_query = SELECT email as user, \
    concat('*:bytes=', quota) AS quota_rule, \
    '/var/vmail/%d/%n' AS home, \
    5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid \
    FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'
  
  password_query = SELECT password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'
  
  iterate_query = SELECT email AS user FROM virtual_users

Set file permissions.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo chown root:root /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
  sudo chmod 600 /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext

Edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf and change to:

.. code-block:: cfg

  service lmtp {
    unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp {
      group = postfix
      mode = 0600
      user = postfix
    }
  }


Restart dovecot server.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo systemctl restart dovecot

Run this to tell postfix to deliver to dovecot:

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo postconf virtual_transport=lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp

Edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf and change line like this:

.. code-block:: cfg

  mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve


Restart dovecot again....

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo systemctl restart dovecot


More postfix
============
More postfix configuration, now that the above is set up.

Set postfix to use dovecot for authentication:

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo postconf smtpd_sasl_type=dovecot
  sudo postconf smtpd_sasl_path=private/auth
  sudo postconf smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes

  sudo postconf smtpd_tls_security_level=may
  sudo postconf smtpd_tls_auth_only=yes
  sudo postconf smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.libre.is/fullchain.pem
  sudo postconf smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.libre.is/privkey.pem
  sudo postconf smtp_tls_security_level=may

Edit /etc/postfix/master.cf and change thusly:

.. code-block:: cfg

  submission inet n       -       y       -       -       smtpd
    -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
    -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
    -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
    -o smtpd_tls_auth_only=yes
    -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no
    -o smtpd_client_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
    -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING

Run:

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo postconf smtpd_sender_login_maps=mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-email2email.cf

Restart postfix:

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo systemctl restart postfix

Does it ever end? Edit /etc/postfix/master.cf and add to bottom of submission
section.

.. code-block:: cfg

   -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=reject_sender_login_mismatch,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject


.. code-block:: sh

  sudo systemctl restart postfix

Allow aliases to send by adding this file (XXX check OK)
/etc/postfix/aliases.cf with this contents:

.. code-block:: sql

  SELECT email FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%s' UNION SELECT destination FROM virtual_aliases WHERE source='%s'


Make sure all is good:

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo postfix check


rspamd Configuration
====================
Configure postfix for rspamd.

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo postconf smtpd_milters=inet:127.0.0.1:11332
  sudo postconf non_smtpd_milters=inet:127.0.0.1:11332
  sudo postconf milter_mail_macros="i {mail_addr} {client_addr} {client_name} {auth_authen}"


Administration
==============
Now that everything is working...

Log into the database using the mailadmin databse password:

.. code-block:: sh

  mariadb -u mailadmin -p mailserver


List Virtual Domains
--------------------

.. code-block:: sql

  SELECT * FROM virtual_domains;


List Virtual Users
------------------

.. code-block:: sql

  SELECT * FROM virtual_users;


List Virtual Aliases
--------------------

.. code-block:: sql

  SELECT * FROM virtual_aliases;


Add Virtual Domain
------------------

Add the domain:

.. code-block:: sql

  INSERT INTO virtual_domains (name) VALUES ("example.org");


Add a Mail User
---------------
Generate a password with dovecot:

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo dovecot pw -s BLF-CRYPT

Log into database as mailadmin and run this command, using the dovecot
generated password string, and set the domain and user email.

Note, upstream docs are missing "(" and ")" for VALUES.

.. code-block:: sql

  INSERT INTO virtual_users (domain_id, email, password) VALUES
    ((SELECT id FROM virtual_domains WHERE name='example.org'),
    'john@example.org','{BLF-CRYPT}$2y$05$.We…');


Add a User Alias
----------------
Example to add an alias. The first email should be the alias,
the second email is where it should go to.

.. code-block:: sql

  INSERT INTO virtual_aliases (domain_id, source, destination) VALUES
    ( (SELECT id FROM virtual_domains WHERE name='example.org'),
    'melissa@example.org', 'juila@example.net');


Change a User Password
----------------------
Generate string for new password:

.. code-block:: sh

  sudo dovecot pw -s BLF-CRYPT

Use that string:

.. code-block:: sql

  UPDATE virtual_users SET password='{BLF-CRYPT}$2y$05$.We…' WHERE email='email@address';


Delete Virtual Domain
---------------------

.. code-block:: sql

  DELETE FROM virtual_domains where name='example.org';


Delete User
-----------

.. code-block:: sql

  DELETE FROM virtual_users WHERE email='john@example.org';


Delete Alias
------------

.. code-block:: sql

  DELETE FROM virtual_aliases WHERE source='melissa@example.org';


Firewall
========
Open TCP ports.

Confirm open sieve...

.. code-block:: sh

  # Web
  -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
  -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
  
  # Postfix
  -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
