Some notes in the beginning:

DMS, docker mail server, is, as of now (2023-08-08), not intended to be used with a database and postfixadmin. It offers its user and domain management through a script and a text file, where you write in your accounts with hashed passwords or your aliases.

This is not a tutorial, it is my personal story with the topic. I might rewrite this as a tutorial at a later point in time.

Motivation

What I want to do is, replacing my current native setup with a docker solution that I can setup easily and reproducible in case of server change/malfunction or the need to restore a backup.

The native setup consists of

postfix - how obvious
PostgreSQL
PostfixAdmin
Dovecot
RoundcubeMail
Rspamd
imapproxy for Roundcube, for keeping connections low
- (don’t think that I will transfer that thing…)
opendkimd

And of course, the new setup should be capable of the same.

Why?

My problem is of course a bit self-produced. I am a Arch Linux user - every-fuckin-where. And with that I sometimes get incompatibilities. As with Arch you get almost bleeding edge packages, the applications, e.g. roundcubemail or postfixadmin, aren’t ready for the newest PHP most of the time.

My motivation is now to move the email service with all its components into a docker deployment, so that any upgrade of my base system isn’t interfering with the service at all. Target is to be able to do an upgrade schedule of the machine as I see fit and having a different upgrade schedule for the services.

I did this approach already with a couple of services, e.g. nextcloud (AIO) and quassel-core.

Now there could be someone questioning my Arch Linux usage on server systems, of course…
Yes, I could move to an Ubuntu server with more “stability”, only to have a big act of upgrading to every new LTS version.
And for a move to another Linux distribution, I would have to move the services anyway…

Whatever.

Having the deployment in docker makes it even easier, if I would ever do this.

Get started…

For continuing, I expect that you have at least basic knowledge about all the involved services (postfix, dovecot, postgresql, dns entries, rspamd, postfixadmin, roundcubemail, lets encrypt, etc.). I won’t go into details, but may provide links for further reading, if you’re lucky. :)

Now let’s get started…

DMS compose.yml

My first steps were:

First, I retrieved the compose.yaml from the DMS github project repository and as well as the mailserver.env.
Then, I added the necessary images to the compose.yaml

Continuing with the configuration of the postgresql instance through an .env file:

POSTGRES_USER=postfix
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<hidden password>
POSTGRES_DB=postfix

And the postfixadmin instance through an .env file:

POSTFIXADMIN_DB_TYPE=pgsql     
#... - sqlite, mysqli, pgsql
POSTFIXADMIN_DB_NAME=postfix     
#.... - database name or path to database file (sqlite)
POSTFIXADMIN_DB_USER=postfix     
#... - mysqli/pgsql only (db server user name)
POSTFIXADMIN_DB_HOST=mailserverdb     
#... - hostname for database, default is localhost.
#POSTFIXADMIN_DB_PORT=
#... - port for the database (optional):
POSTFIXADMIN_DB_PASSWORD=<hidden password>
#... - mysqli/pgsql only (db server user password)
POSTFIXADMIN_ENCRYPT='php_crypt:SHA512::{SHA512-CRYPT}'
#... - database password encryption (e.g. md5crypt, SHA512-CRYPT)
POSTFIXADMIN_SETUP_PASSWORD='$2y$10$hYwsErlyEvAEK8mHuP0lLewicIrnFH6ZaJrCADb62Ann1ExwrAhH.'
#... - generated from setup.php or php -r "echo password_hash('mysecretpassword', PASSWORD_DEFAULT);"

Note: Setup password hash is an example.

Actually, postfixadmin is already accessible and can be setup and used. The rest of the services are of course still unusable.

Postfix configuration

Why it was a challenge for me…

It was a challenge for me as my configuration grew hysterically (historically) over eight years. The files of DMS and mine were not really comparable, so I got down to the approach of stripping both versions of all empty lines and comments, sorting the lines and then comparing what’s left. Which got me down to:

\# pseudocode and/or example lines!
# remove comments, empty lines and sort
cat main.cf | grep -v -E "^#|^$" | sort > old-main.cf
# doing this with both main.cf files, lets you take the approach of
vimdiff old-main.cf dms-main.cf

Configure postfix to access the postgresql database

The actual configuration of postfix comes down to the settings for the four mappings of

smtpd_sender_login_maps
virtual_alias_maps
virtual_mailbox_domains
virtual_mailbox_maps

As we are working with postfixadmin the correct queries need to be set

user = postfix
password = <hidden password>
dbname = postfix
hosts = postgresql://postfix:<hidden password>@mailserverdb/postfix

query = SELECT username AS allowedUser FROM mailbox WHERE username='%s' AND active = true UNION SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='%s' AND active = true

user = postfix
password = <hidden password>
dbname = postfix
hosts = postgresql://postfix:<hidden password>@mailserverdb/postfix

query = SELECT goto FROM alias where address = '%s' and active = '1'
table = alias
select_field = goto
where_field = address
additional_conditions = and active = '1'

user = postfix
password = <hidden password>
dbname = postfix
hosts = postgresql://postfix:<hidden password>@mailserverdb/postfix

query = SELECT domain FROM domain where domain = '%s' and backupmx = '0' and active = '1'
table = domain
select_field = domain
where_field = domain
additional_conditions = and backupmx = '0' and active = '1'

user = postfix
password = <hidden password>
dbname = postfix
hosts = postgresql://postfix:<hidden password>@mailserverdb/postfix

query = SELECT CONCAT(domain, '/', local_part) FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%s' and active = '1'
table = mailbox
select_field = CONCAT(domain, '/', local_part)
where_field = username
additional_conditions = and active = '1'

Configure dovecot

Now dovecot needs the same SQL access to the database managed by postfixadmin and also needs to know about the password hashing algorithm.

In DMS the /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext needs to be overwritten.
Like this example:

\# I removed all the comments, to only show the actual important data

driver = pgsql
connect = host=mailserverdb dbname=postfix user=postfix password=<hidden password>

  FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = true

pgsql

Remember what I said about DMS and databases? Yes? Good.

That DMS can work with the database you have to tweak it through user-patches.sh. I do not actually like that approach, especially if you would want to run the images without root policies enabled it will fail, but in my case it’s still okayish.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

apt-get update
apt-get install -y postfix-pgsql dovecot-pgsql

Yes, that simple. Still without nothing will work with the postgresql database. In an optimization step the cache of repository and packages could be cleaned aswell, but for now it’s only about a working system.

Sending and receiving mail

To get to the point where the services can send and receive mail, I had to find out that my settings in dovecot were wrong. The sql queries suggested the user vmail with the uid=1001 and the gid=1002 which is obviously not available in DMS. So I changed that to the docker user/group id=5000 and it began working inside dovecot at least. Logging into roundcube without errors at last.

In the postfix-main.cf I still had one error, that I accidentally put in the wrong hostname. Typical typo. Also it complained that the same domain shouldn’t be listed in mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains, so I removed it from mydestination.

After a restart, postfix was able to receive mail. YAY.

Now for sending mails…

Initially I had problems here. But I found out that the settings in my overwrite main.cf (dms/config/postfix-main.cf) did have an error. Actually, the variable smtpd_tls_chain_files was still set to the default ‘snakeoil’ variant of DMS and I had to set this to my correct lets-encrypt certificate (first the key, then the fullchain.cem) and my postfix could also send mails.

Additional settings (DKIM, DMARC, SPF)

The only additional setting where you should check with dms to finally have the full chain working is the rspamd DKIM setting. Here you should actually follow the guide (rspamd tab!) to generate a DKIM key. It immediately spits out the settings you have to do in your DNS configuration.

Same for DMARC and SPF, as there’s no key required for this, just follow the guide from DMS.

Managesieve, rspamd webinterface

Last but not least I want to see how to get managesieve and rspamd webinterface running.

Managesieve

Managesieve needs some extra configuration in roundcubemail. So you have to add at least this to your config.inc.php

$config\['managesieve_host'\] = 'tls://domain.to';                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
$config\['managesieve_auth_type'\] = 'PLAIN';

Not doing this, managesieve tries to access localhost, and with encryption and authentication, that will fail miserably. Been there, done that. ;)

rspamd web

This is also actually quite easy.

Copy out of the running container the file /etc/rspamd/local.d/worker-controller.inc
- e.g. with this command:
  docker cp mailserver:/etc/rspamd/local.d/worker-controller.inc ./docker-data/dms/config/rspamd/
Run the command rspamadm pw inside the running container
- docker-compose exec -it mailserver rspamadm pw
Copy the result into worker-controller.inc, like this:
- password = "$2$wcopyxj5y8zeokzhbc6wm63tpq9magfg$f3omsrw4tgdq6x3pw16inkshms7tn3amix776refrt4pw2pujwdb";

Resulting file content:

\# documentation: https://rspamd.com/doc/workers/controller.html

bind_socket = "0.0.0.0:11334";
password = "$2$wcopyxj5y8zeokzhbc6wm63tpq9magfg$f3omsrw4tgdq6x3pw16inkshms7tn3amix776refrt4pw2pujwdb";

Add a forwarding for the compose.yml in the ports section of mailserver.
( - "8003:11334" # rspamd web)

Last but not least, add a line to the volumes section where you mount the worker-controller.inc to it’s place and restart the deployment.

( - ./docker-data/dms/rspamd/worker-controller.inc:/etc/rspamd/local.d/worker-controller.inc:ro)

Finishing up

If you’ve read through this blog post, thank you for bearing with me through this journey.

For completness I will give you now almost all my config files here, with full content, especially those I showed only partly before, the small stuff i left out.
(Obviously anonymized and without passwords… :P)

And I condensed the config files to only contain actual configuration entries, removing empty lines and comments!
