"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.

Enabling DMARC
In docker-mailserver, DMARC is pre-configured out of the box. The only thing you need to do in order to enable it, is to add new TXT entry to your DNS.
In contrast with DKIM, the DMARC DNS entry does not require any keys, but merely setting the [configuration values][dmarc-howto-configtags]. You can either handcraft the entry by yourself or use one of available generators (like this one).
Typically something like this should be good to start with (don't forget to replace @example.com to your actual domain):
_dmarc.example.com. IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc.report@example.com; ruf=mailto:dmarc.report@example.com; sp=none; ri=86400"
Or a bit more strict policies (mind p=quarantine and sp=quarantine):
_dmarc IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc.report@example.com; ruf=mailto:dmarc.report@example.com; fo=0; adkim=r; aspf=r; pct=100; rf=afrf; ri=86400; sp=quarantine"
DMARC status is not being displayed instantly in Gmail for instance. If you want to check it directly after DNS entries, you can use some services around the Internet such as from Global Cyber Alliance or RedSift. In other cases, email clients will show "DMARC: PASS" in ~1 day or so.
