docs(chore): Normalize for consistency (#2206)
"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.

## Requirements
**Recommended**:
- 1 Core
- 2GB RAM
- Swap enabled for the container
**Minimum**:
- 1 vCore
- 512MB RAM
**Note:** You'll need to deactivate some services like ClamAV to be able to run on a host with 512MB of RAM. Even with 1G RAM you may run into problems without swap, see [FAQ](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/faq/#what-system-requirements-are-required-to-run-docker-mailserver-effectively).
## Usage
### Available Images / Tags - Tagging Convention
[CI/CD](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/actions) will automatically build, test and push new images to container registries. Currently, the following registries are supported:
- [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/mailserver/docker-mailserver)
- [GitHub Container Registry](https://github.com/orgs/docker-mailserver/packages?repo_name=docker-mailserver)
All workflows are using the tagging convention listed below. It is subsequently applied to all images.
| Event | Ref | Image Tags |
|--------------|-----------------------|-------------------------------|
| `push` | `refs/heads/master` | `edge` |
| `push tag` | `refs/tags/[v]1.2.3` | `1.2.3`, `1.2`, `1`, `latest` |
### Get the tools
Since Docker Mailserver `v10.2.0`, `setup.sh` functionality is included within the Docker image. The external convenience script is no longer required if you prefer using `docker exec <CONTAINER NAME> setup <COMMAND>` instead.
**Note:** If you're using Docker or Docker Compose and are new to `docker-mailserver`, it is recommended to use the script `setup.sh` for convenience.
``` BASH
DMS_GITHUB_URL='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/master'
wget "${DMS_GITHUB_URL}/docker-compose.yml"
wget "${DMS_GITHUB_URL}/mailserver.env"
wget "${DMS_GITHUB_URL}/setup.sh"
chmod a+x ./setup.sh
./setup.sh help
```
If no `docker-mailserver` container is running, any `./setup.sh` command will check online for the `:latest` image tag (the current stable release), performing a `pull` if necessary followed by running the command in a temporary container.
#### `setup.sh` for `docker-mailserver` version `v10.1.x` and below
If you're using `docker-mailserver` version `v10.1.x` or below, you will need to get `setup.sh` with a specific version. Substitute `<VERSION>` with the `docker-mailserver` release version you're using: `wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/<VERSION>/setup.sh`.
### Create a docker-compose environment
1. [Install the latest docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
2. Edit `docker-compose.yml` to your liking
- substitute `mail` (hostname) and `example.com` (domainname) according to your FQDN
- if you want to use SELinux for the `./docker-data/dms/config/:/tmp/docker-mailserver/` mount, append `-z` or `-Z`
3. Configure the mailserver container to your liking by editing `mailserver.env` ([**Documentation**](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/config/environment/)), but keep in mind this `.env` file:
- [_only_ basic `VAR=VAL`](https://docs.docker.com/compose/env-file/) is supported (**do not** quote your values!)
- variable substitution is **not** supported (e.g. :no_entry_sign: `OVERRIDE_HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME.$DOMAINNAME` :no_entry_sign:)
### Get up and running
``` BASH
docker-compose up -d mailserver
# for SELinux, use -Z
./setup.sh [-Z] email add <user@domain> [<password>]
./setup.sh [-Z] alias add postmaster@<domain> <user@domain>
./setup.sh [-Z] config dkim
```
If you're seeing error messages about unchecked errors, please **verify that you're using the right version of `setup.sh`**. Refer to the [Get the tools](#get-the-tools) section and / or execute `./setup.sh help` and read the `VERSION` section.
In case you're using LDAP, the setup looks a bit different as you do not add user accounts directly. Postfix doesn't know your domain(s) and you need to provide it when configuring DKIM:
``` BASH
./setup.sh config dkim domain '<domain.tld>[,<domain2.tld>]'
```
If you want to see detailed usage information, run `./setup.sh config dkim help`.
### Miscellaneous
#### DNS - DKIM
When keys are generated, you can configure your DNS server by just pasting the content of `config/opendkim/keys/domain.tld/mail.txt` to [set up DKIM](https://mxtoolbox.com/dmarc/dkim/setup/how-to-setup-dkim). See the [documentation](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/config/best-practices/dkim/) for more details.
#### Custom User Changes & Patches
If you'd like to change, patch or alter files or behavior of `docker-mailserver`, you can use a script. See the [documentation](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/config/advanced/override-defaults/user-patches/) for a detailed explanation.
#### Updating `docker-mailserver`
Make sure to read the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) before updating to new versions, to be prepared for possible breaking changes.
``` BASH
docker-compose pull
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d mailserver
```
You should see the new version number on startup, for example: `[ TASKLOG ] Welcome to docker-mailserver 10.1.2`.
You're done! And don't forget to have a look at the remaining functions of the `setup.sh` script with `./setup.sh help`.
#### Supported Operating Systems
We are currently providing support for Linux. Windows is _not_ supported and is known to cause problems. Similarly, macOS is _not officially_ supported - but you may get it to work there. In the end, Linux should be your preferred operating system for this image, especially when using this mail-server in production.
#### Bare Domains
If you want to use a bare domain (`hostname` == `domainname`), see [FAQ](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/faq#can-i-use-nakedbare-domains-no-host-name).
#### Support for Multiple Domains
`docker-mailserver` supports multiple domains out of the box, so you can do this:
``` BASH
./setup.sh email add user1@docker.example.com
./setup.sh email add user1@mail.example.de
./setup.sh email add user1@server.example.org
```
#### SPF/Forwarding Problems
If you got any problems with SPF and/or forwarding mails, give [SRS](https://github.com/roehling/postsrsd/blob/master/README.md) a try. You enable SRS by setting `ENABLE_SRS=1`. See the variable description for further information.
#### Ports
See the [documentation](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/config/security/understanding-the-ports/) for further details and best practice advice, **especially regarding security concerns**.
#### Mailboxes (_aka IMAP Folders_)
`INBOX` is setup by default with the special IMAP folders `Drafts`, `Sent`, `Junk` and `Trash`. You can learn how to modify or add your own folders (_including additional special folders like `Archive`_) by visiting our docs page [_Customizing IMAP Folders_][docs-examples-imapfolders] for more information.
[docs-examples-imapfolders]: https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/examples/use-cases/imap-folders
## Examples
### With Relevant Environmental Variables
This example provides you only with a basic example of what a minimal setup could look like. We **strongly recommend** that you go through the configuration file yourself and adjust everything to your needs. The default [docker-compose.yml](./docker-compose.yml) can be used for the purpose out-of-the-box, see the [usage section](#usage).
