# FAQ
### What kind of database are you using?
None. No *sql database required.
This image is based on config files that can be versioned.
You'll probably want to `push` your config updates to your server and restart the container to apply changes.
### Where are emails stored?
Mails are stored in `/var/mail/${domain}/${username}`.
You should use a data volume container for `/var/mail` for data persistence. Otherwise, your data may be lost.
### How can I configure my email client?
Login are full email address (`user@domain.com`).
Both login and password are managed in `postfix/accounts.cf` file.
Please have a look to the `README` in order to manage users and aliases.
# imap
username: <user1@domain.tld>
password: <mypassword>
server: <mail.domain.tld>
imap port: 143 or 993 with ssl (recommended)
imap path prefix: INBOX
# smtp
smtp port: 25 or 587 with ssl (recommended)
username: <user1@domain.tld>
password: <mypassword>
### How can I manage my custom Spamassassin rules?
Antispam rules are managed in `spamassassin/rules.cf`.
### What kind of SSL certificates can I use?
You can use the same certificates you use with another mail server.
The only thing is that we provide a `self-signed` certificate tool and a `letsencrypt` certificate loader.
