Mail overview¶

• Webmail
• Outgoing mail server: smtp.ungleich.ch, port 25, starttls
• Incoming mail server: mail.ungleich.ch, imaps
  Mail settings:
  smtp: smtp.ungleich.ch port 587 STARTTLS
  imap: mail.ungleich.ch port 143 STARTTLS

The primary mx configuration¶

• Is found in the cdist type __ungleich_mx_primary (in our ungleich internally used dot-cdist)

How to add a new user¶

• Have the user run doveadm to create a hash (doveadm pw -s sha512-crypt)
• Have the user submit the hash to an admin
• Modify type/__ungleich_mx_primary/files/dovecot/vpasswd to include the mail account
  • Username should be firstname.lastname@ungleich.ch for staff
  • Commit & push
• Run cdist config mx.place5.ungleich.ch

How to add a new domains¶

• Edit type/__ungleich_mx_primary/files/postfix/vdomain
  • Add the new domain
• Commit & push
• Run cdist config mx.place5.ungleich.ch

How to add a new mail alias¶

• Edit type/__ungleich_mx_primary/files/postfix/valiases
  • Add alias mail (First one is the alias => Will send incoming mail to the following email addresses)
• Commit & push
• Run cdist config mx.place5.ungleich.ch

How to update the mail server¶

Since all the configuration is located in cdist a simple cdist config mx.place5.ungleich.ch does the trick.

Sieve filters¶

Can be configured via:

• Webmail - go to Settings - Filters
  or
• Thunderbird sieve plugin
