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.

Adding a New Account
Users (email accounts) are managed in /tmp/docker-mailserver/postfix-accounts.cf. The best way to manage accounts is to use the reliable setup.sh script. Or you may directly add the full email address and its encrypted password, separated by a pipe:
user1@domain.tld|{SHA512-CRYPT}$6$2YpW1nYtPBs2yLYS$z.5PGH1OEzsHHNhl3gJrc3D.YMZkvKw/vp.r5WIiwya6z7P/CQ9GDEJDr2G2V0cAfjDFeAQPUoopsuWPXLk3u1
user2@otherdomain.tld|{SHA512-CRYPT}$6$2YpW1nYtPBs2yLYS$z.5PGH1OEzsHHNhl3gJrc3D.YMZkvKw/vp.r5WIiwya6z7P/CQ9GDEJDr2G2V0cAfjDFeAQPUoopsuWPXLk3u1
In the example above, we've added 2 mail accounts for 2 different domains. Consequently, the mail server will automatically be configured for multi-domains. Therefore, to generate a new mail account data, directly from your docker host, you could for example run the following:
docker run --rm \
-e MAIL_USER=user1@domain.tld \
-e MAIL_PASS=mypassword \
-it mailserver/docker-mailserver:latest \
/bin/sh -c 'echo "$MAIL_USER|$(doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -u $MAIL_USER -p $MAIL_PASS)"' >> config/postfix-accounts.cf
You will then be asked for a password, and be given back the data for a new account entry, as text. To actually add this new account, just copy all the output text in config/postfix-accounts.cf file of your running container.
!!! note
doveadm pw command lets you choose between several encryption schemes for the password.
Use `doveadm pw -l` to get a list of the currently supported encryption schemes.
!!! note
Changes to the accounts list require a restart of the container, using supervisord. See #552.
Notes
imap-quotais enabled and allow clients to query their mailbox usage.- When the mailbox is deleted, the quota directive is deleted as well.
- Dovecot quotas support LDAP, but it's not implemented (PR are welcome!).
