# 004-mail-server

_Tues Sept 21, 2021_

We threw this together late in our first pairing session to set
up the site. I think having a solid email server is an important
part of standing up a site (allows forwarding cron email to an
inbox that's read, etc). And of course giving out email accounts
is crucial to attract people to a tilde ;)

The setup mostly followed Gilles' [excellent
post](https://poolp.org/posts/2019-09-14/setting-up-a-mail-server-with-opensmtpd-dovecot-and-rspamd/)
but I replaced the rspamd bits with opensmtpd-filter-dkimsign, which is super
simple to set up (see the README that comes with the installed pkg).

I'll post the whole config soon once we get git hosting set up!
