This was a community contributed guide from the Github Wiki prior to docs migration. I've rewritten it by restructuring the content, introducing numerical steps and revising some of the content, while removing third-party software that was unnecessary (the original authors and content related to their use-case, Moodle).
See the PR for further details and reference links regarding the original documents history.
The PR provides improved diff via separate commits scoping changes at the correct change bounds, unfortunately the full diff doesn't align to those boundaries well making it more difficult to review vs individual commits.
"Brief" summary/overview of changes. See the PR discussion or individual commits from the PR for more details.

Only applies to the `docs/content/**` content (_and `setup` command_). `target/` and `test/` can be normalized at a later date.
* Normalize to `example.com`
- Domains normalized to `example.com`: `mywebserver.com`, `myserver.tld`, `domain.com`, `domain.tld`, `mydomain.net`, `my-domain.tld`, `my-domain.com`, `example.org`, `whoami.com`.
- Alternative domains normalized to `not-example.com`: `otherdomain.com`, `otherdomain.tld`, `domain2.tld`, `mybackupmx.com`, `whoareyou.org`.
- Email addresses normalized to `admin@example.com` (in `ssl.md`): `foo@bar.com`, `yourcurrentemail@gmail.com`, `email@email.com`, `admin@domain.tld`.
- Email addresses normalized to `external-account@gmail.com`: `bill@gates321boom.com`, `external@gmail.com`, `myemail@gmail.com`, `real-email-address@external-domain.com`.
- **`faq.md`:** A FAQ entry title with `sample.domain.com` changed to `subdomain.example.com`.
- **`mail-fetchmail.md`:** Config examples with FQDNs for `imap`/`pop3` used `example.com` domain for a third-party, changed to `gmail.com` as more familiar third-party/external MTA.
* Normalize config volume path
- Normalizing local config path references to `./docker-data/dms/config/`: `./config/`, `config/`, \``config`\`, `/etc/` (_volume mount src path prefix_).
- Normalize DMS volume paths to `docker-data/dms/mail-{data,state,log}`: `./mail`, `./mail-state` `./data/mail`, `./data/state`, `./data/logs`, `./data/maildata`, `./data/mailstate`, `./data/maillogs`, (_dropped/converted data volumes: `maildata`, `mailstate`_).
- Other docker images also adopt the `docker-data/{service name}/` prefix.
* `ssl.md` - Use `dms/custom-certs` where appropriate.
* Apply normalizations to README and example `docker-compose.yml`

Common terms, sometimes interchangeably used or now invalid depending on context: `mail`, `mail container`, `mail server`, `mail-server`, `mailserver`,`docker-mailserver`, `Docker Mailserver`.
Rough transformations applied to most matches (_conditionally, depending on context_):
- 'Docker Mailserver' => '`docker-mailserver`'
- 'mail container' => '`docker-mailserver`' (_optionally retaining ' container'_)
- 'mail server' => 'mail-server' / '`docker-mailserver`'
- 'mail-server' => '`docker-mailserver`'
- 'mailserver' => 'mail-server' / '`docker-mailserver`'
Additionally I checked `docker run` (_plus `exec`, `logs`, etc, sub-commands_) and `docker-compose` commands. Often finding usage of `mail` instead of the expected `mailserver`
Additionally changes `mailserver` hostname in k8s to `mail` to align with other non-k8s examples.

* drive-by revisions
Mostly minor revisions or improvements to docs that aren't related to normalization effort.
Initial pass for achieving more consistency with docker-compose related configs.
* Set DMS_DEBUG to 0
* align with default docker-compose.yml

Adds a new blog post that covers setting up docker-mailserver on a VPS, including but not limited to
* Considerations when selecting a VPS
* Initial configuration of docker-mailserver
* DNS setup and verification of settings
* Multiple domains

* docs: Add example for customizing IMAP folders (mailboxes)
* chore: Update `15-mailboxes.conf` to sync with upstream
This config has not been updated since 2016 (ignoring the Junk autosubscribe addition).
Synced to upstream equivalent at https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/doc/example-config/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf
Retains the `Archive` example definition from this PR and prior `auto = subscribe` additions.

* fix: make sure the SASLAUTHD_LDAP_HOST/PROTO logic makes sense and use LDAP_SERVER_HOST as a fallback (#1983)
* chore(docs): document changes to LDAP/SASLAUTHD as of #1983
* fix!: apply default value modifications suggested in #1983https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/issues/1983#issuecomment-844848224
* chore(test): Test SASLAUTHD_LDAP_SERVER with protocol and ..._SSL=0, as well as with default bind credentials
Note that there are currently no regression tests for this as there's only one setup_file, so that would require big changes to the testing methodology.
* refactor!: completely remove SASLAUTHD_LDAP_SSL and SASLAUTHD_LDAP_PROTO

JaapD: dkim.md + forward-only-mailserver-with-ldap-authentication.md
Added corrections to `setup.sh config dkim` command.
Added compatibility warning about 4096-bit key sizes or greater.
Added ldap tip.
---
fred727-temp: optional-config.md
Added a mention for `user-patches.sh`.
---
Semir Patel: setup.sh.md + debugging.md
Minor corrections. Additionally corrected `tvial` references that had already been updated in this PR series.

> Port 25 proxy protocol configuration in master.cf was missing
docs(sync): Add Github Wiki contributions
> IMAP with STARTTLS is also active, so we need that option here as well
docs(sync): Add Github Wiki contribution
Also removed the FAQ inline heading link for Rancher. It's not a relevant link (as the question already expects knowledge of Rancher), and breaks out of the bg colour heading style due to the HTML generation logic from mkdocs.
