(Power) Mail-in-a-Box
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This is a fork of MiaB (duh), hacked and tuned to my needs:
|
|
|
|
✅ - **Done**
|
|
|
|
👨💻 - **Not there yet, but soon!**
|
|
|
|
💤 - **I did not begin this part yet!**
|
|
|
|
- ✅ Proper support for Debian (I recommend Debian Buster or later, but if it works on your machine, it works!);
|
|
|
|
- - I changed the pre-flight checks to accept Debian and Debian only. If you think you can also make this fork Ubuntu-compatible, shoot a PR or something.
|
|
|
|
- 👨💻 Native support for SMTP relays (For example: SendGrid);
|
|
|
|
- 💤 Ability for "static" pages to use PHP (e.g. host a domain shortener);
|
|
|
|
- 💤 Custom pages should not have their pages defaulting to the MiaB services (`/admin`, `/mail`, etc.);
|
|
|
|
- 💤 Possibility of disabling some services (\*cough\* NextCloud \*cough\*);
|
|
|
|
- ✅ Bumped the bootstrap and jQuery dependencies' versions - and we've got a brand new admin panel now!
|
|
|
|
- 💤 Anything else I might need to use;
|
|
|
|
All in all, I think I should rename this to something like "Central [Clown Computing](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=clown%20computing)", since I'm trying to cram as many services as possible into that poor machine (Spending 5$ is better than spending 10$)

Mail-in-a-Box helps individuals take back control of their email by defining a one-click, easy-to-deploy SMTP+everything else server: a mail server in a box.

Our goals are to:

|
|
|
* Make deploying a good mail server easy.
|
|
* Promote [decentralization](http://redecentralize.org/), innovation, and privacy on the web.
|
|
* Have automated, auditable, and [idempotent](https://web.archive.org/web/20190518072631/https://sharknet.us/2014/02/01/automated-configuration-management-challenges-with-idempotency/) configuration.
|
|
* **Not** make a totally unhackable, NSA-proof server.
|
|
* ~~**Not** make something customizable by power users.~~

The Box
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64-bit machine into a working mail server by installing and configuring various components.
|
|
|
|
It is a one-click email appliance. There are no user-configurable setup options. It "just works".
|
|
|
|
The components installed are:
|
|
|
|
* SMTP ([postfix](http://www.postfix.org/)), IMAP ([dovecot](http://dovecot.org/)), CardDAV/CalDAV ([Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/)), Exchange ActiveSync ([z-push](http://z-push.org/))
|
|
* Webmail ([Roundcube](http://roundcube.net/)), static website hosting ([nginx](http://nginx.org/))
|
|
* Spam filtering ([spamassassin](https://spamassassin.apache.org/)), greylisting ([postgrey](http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/))
|
|
* DNS ([nsd4](https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/projects/nsd/)) with [SPF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework), DKIM ([OpenDKIM](http://www.opendkim.org/)), [DMARC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMARC), [DNSSEC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNSSEC), [DANE TLSA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication_of_Named_Entities), and [SSHFP](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4255) records automatically set
|
|
* Backups ([duplicity](http://duplicity.nongnu.org/)), firewall ([ufw](https://launchpad.net/ufw)), intrusion protection ([fail2ban](http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page)), system monitoring ([munin](http://munin-monitoring.org/))
|
|
|
|
It also includes:
|
|
|
|
* A control panel and API for adding/removing mail users, aliases, custom DNS records, etc. and detailed system monitoring.

Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
See the [setup guide](https://mailinabox.email/guide.html) for detailed, user-friendly instructions.
|
|
|
|
For experts, start with a completely fresh (really, I mean it) Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64-bit machine. On the machine...
|
|
|
|
Clone this repository:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox
|
|
$ cd mailinabox
|
|
|
|
_Optional:_ Download Josh's PGP key and then verify that the sources were signed
|
|
by him:
|
|
|
|
$ curl -s https://keybase.io/joshdata/key.asc | gpg --import
|
|
gpg: key C10BDD81: public key "Joshua Tauberer <jt@occams.info>" imported
|
|
|
|
$ git verify-tag v0.44
|
|
gpg: Signature made ..... using RSA key ID C10BDD81
|
|
gpg: Good signature from "Joshua Tauberer <jt@occams.info>"
|
|
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
|
|
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
|
|
Primary key fingerprint: 5F4C 0E73 13CC D744 693B 2AEA B920 41F4 C10B DD81
|
|
|
|
You'll get a lot of warnings, but that's OK. Check that the primary key fingerprint matches the
|
|
fingerprint in the key details at [https://keybase.io/joshdata](https://keybase.io/joshdata)
|
|
and on his [personal homepage](https://razor.occams.info/). (Of course, if this repository has been compromised you can't trust these instructions.)
|
|
|
|
Checkout the tag corresponding to the most recent release:
|
|
|
|
$ git checkout v0.44
|
|
|
|
Begin the installation.
|
|
|
|
$ sudo setup/start.sh
|
|
|

The History
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* In 2007 I wrote a relatively popular Mozilla Thunderbird extension that added client-side SPF and DKIM checks to mail to warn users about possible phishing: [add-on page](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/sender-verification-anti-phish/), [source](https://github.com/JoshData/thunderbird-spf).
|
|
* In August 2013 I began Mail-in-a-Box by combining my own mail server configuration with the setup in ["NSA-proof your email in 2 hours"](http://sealedabstract.com/code/nsa-proof-your-e-mail-in-2-hours/) and making the setup steps reproducible with bash scripts.
|
|
* Mail-in-a-Box was a semifinalist in the 2014 [Knight News Challenge](https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/2014/submissions/mail-in-a-box), but it was not selected as a winner.
|
|
* Mail-in-a-Box hit the front page of Hacker News in [April](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7634514) 2014, [September](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8276171) 2014, [May](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9624267) 2015, and [November](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13050500) 2016.
|
|
* FastCompany mentioned Mail-in-a-Box a [roundup of privacy projects](http://www.fastcompany.com/3047645/your-own-private-cloud) on June 26, 2015.
