A **forward-only** mail server does not have any local mailboxes. Instead, it has only aliases that forward emails to external email accounts (for example to a Gmail account). You can also send email from the localhost (the computer where DMS is installed), using as sender any of the alias addresses.

We can create aliases with `./setup.sh`, like this:

## Authenticating with LDAP

If you want to send emails from outside the mail server you have to authenticate somehow (with a username and password). One way of doing it is described in [this discussion][github-issue-1247]. However if there are many user accounts, it is better to use authentication with LDAP. The settings for this on `mailserver.env` are:

scripts: rework environment variables setup (#2716) * outsourcing env variable setup This commit contains major parts of the work of refactoring the setup and usage of environment variables. It outsources the setup into its own script and provides dedicated functions to be executed at a later point in time. A **new** env variable was added: `USER_PROVISIONG` which provides a better way of defining which method / protocol to use when it comes to setting up users. This way, the `ENABLE_LDAP` variable is deprecated, but all of this is backwards compatible due to a "compatibility layer", a function provided by the new variables script. This is not a breaking change. It mostly refators internal scripts. The only change facing the user-side is the deprecation of `ENABLE_LDAP`. We can prolong the period of deprecation for this variable as long as we want, because the new function that ensures backwards compatibility provides a clean interface for the future.

This structure is different from what is expected/assumed from the configuration scripts of DMS, so it doesn't work just by using the `LDAP_QUERY_FILTER_...` settings. Instead, I had to use a custom configuration ([via `user-patches.sh`][docs-userpatches]). I created the script `docker-data/dms/config/user-patches.sh`, with content like this:

You see that besides `query_filter`, I had to customize as well `result_attribute` and `result_format`.

Another solution that serves as a forward-only mail server is [this](https://gitlab.com/docker-scripts/postfix).
docs(refactor): Large refactor + additions + fixes Consistency pass, formatting cleanup and fixes, introduce admonitions, add front-matter. --- docs: Add front-matter --- docs: Fix and format links - Some links were invalid (eg files moved or renamed) - Some were valid but had invalid section headers (content removed or migrated) - Some use `http://` instead of `https://` when the website supports a secure connection. - Some already used the `[name][reference]` convention but often with a number that wasn't as useful for maintenance. - All referenced docs needed URLs replaced. Opted for the `[name][reference]` approach to group them all clearly at the bottom of the doc, especially with the relative URLs and in some cases many duplicate entries. - All `tomav` references from the original repo prior to switch to an organization have been corrected. - Minor cosmetic changes to the `name` part of the URL, such as for referencing issues to be consistent. - Some small changes to text body, usually due to duplicate URL reference that was unnecessary (open relay, youtous) - Switched other links to use the `[name][reference]` format when there was a large group of URLs such as wikipedia or kubernetes. Github repos that reference projects related to `docker-mailserver` also got placed here so they're noticed better by maintainers. This also helped quite a bit with `mermaid` external links that are very long. - There was a Github Wiki supported syntax in use `[[name | link]]` for `fetchmail` page that isn't compatible by default with MkDocs (needs a plugin), converted to `[name][reference]` instead since it's a relative link. --- docs: Update commit link for LDAP override script Logic moved to another file, keeping the permalink commit reference so it's unaffected by any changes in the file referenced in future. --- docs: Heading corrections Consistency pass. Helps with the Table of Contents (top-right UI) aka Document Outline. docs: codefence cleanup --- docs: misc cleanup --- docs: Add Admonitions Switches `<details>` usage for collapsible admonitions (`???`) while other text content is switched to the visually more distinct admoniton (`!!!` or `???+`) style. This does affect editor syntax highlighting a bit and markdown linting as it's custom non-standard markdown syntax.

ci(docs): Fail when build aborts from broken links (#2266) Using `set -ex` will exit the script as soon as a non-zero exit code is returned, such as when the docker image fails building the docs due to `build --strict` catching broken links. This also removes the need for `|| exit` when changing directory. This seems fine for a small script, but AFAIK an alternative fix is just adding `|| exit` to the end of the `docker run` command too? There appears to be advice [against adopting `-e` carelessly](http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/105), while others [encourage `-e`](http://redsymbol.net/articles/unofficial-bash-strict-mode/). I know that several maintainers here have preference towards `set -e` so I've kept the original PR solution. Additionally: - `-x` is used to improve command visibility when reviewing the workflow log output. - `--name` isn't necessary, but was part of the original PR. - I've chosen not to include `-o pipefail`, only because no pipes are used in this script. * docs(fix): Fix broken links * ci(docs): Added inline docs Extra documentation context for maintainers to quickly grok what's going on. * chore(docs): Minor typo fix by wernerfred Added from their related PR by request.
