Mail-in-a-Box

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.

!!! About this fork !!!

This fork of Mail-in-a-Box intends to upgrade the base OS to 16.04 LTS and replace Roundcube/Z-push (and more) with the SOGo Groupware.

As of writing (28th October 2016) this fork is stable and working, and qualifies for production usage.

NOTE: There is NO upgrade/migration path from older Mail-in-a-Box installations.

Our goals are to:

• Make deploying a good mail server easy.
• Promote decentralization, innovation, and privacy on the web.
• Have automated, auditable, and idempotent configuration.
• Not make a totally unhackable, NSA-proof server.
• Not make something customizable by power users.

Additionally, this project has a Code of Conduct, which supersedes the goals above. Please review it when joining our community.

The Box

Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 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), IMAP (dovecot)
• Webmail (SOGo Groupware)(*), static website hosting (nginx)
• Calendar and Contact sync (SOGo Groupware)*, Fast Text Search (Solr)
• Spam filtering (spamassassin), greylisting (postgrey), antivirus (clamav)
• DNS (nsd4) with SPF, DKIM (OpenDKIM), DMARC, DNSSEC, DANE TLSA, and SSHFP records automatically set
• Backups (duplicity), firewall (ufw), intrusion protection (fail2ban), system monitoring (munin)

(*) SOGo provides an seamless experience for these services within the same UI.

It also includes:

• A control panel and API for adding/removing mail users, aliases, custom DNS records, etc. and detailed system monitoring.
