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`][docs-setupsh] script_**. Or you may directly add the _full_ email address and its encrypted password, separated by a pipe:
|
|
|
|
```cf
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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][github-issue-552].

### Notes
|
|
|
|
- `imap-quota` is 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!_).
