-As an example of how to set up your MTA, in postfix on Ubuntu, you might
-add the following to its configuration.
-
-In /etc/postfix/master.cf:
-
- alaveteli unix - n n - 50 pipe
- flags=R user=ALAVETELI_USER argv=ALAVETELI_HOME/script/mailin
-
-In /etc/postfix/main.cf
-
- virtual_alias_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/regexp
-
-For example
-
-ALAVETELI_HOME=/path/to/alaveteli/software
-ALAVETELI_USER=www-data
-
-The user ALAVETELI_USER should have write permissions on ALAVETELI_HOME.
-
-And, assuming you set `OPTION_INCOMING_EMAIL_PREFIX` in your config at
-`config/general` to "foi+", create `/etc/postfix/regexp` with the following
-content:
-
- /^foi.*/ alaveteli
-
-
-You should also configure postfix to discard any messages sent to the `BLACKHOLE_PREFIX`
-address, whose default value is 'do-not-reply-to-this-address'. For example, add the
-following to /etc/aliases:
-
- # We use this for envelope from for some messages where we don't care about delivery
- do-not-reply-to-this-address: :blackhole:
-
-# Logging
-
-For the postfix logs to be read by the script 'load-mail-server-logs' succesfully they need to be log rotated with a date in the filename. Since that will create a lot of rotated log files (one for each day), it's good to have them in their own directory. For example (on Ubuntu) /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
-
- mail.* -/var/log/mail/mail.log
-
-And also edit /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog:
-
- /var/log/mail/mail.log
- {
- rotate 30
- daily
- dateext
- missingok
- notifempty
- compress
- delaycompress
- sharedscripts
- postrotate
- reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
- endscript
- }
-
-You'll also need to tell Alaveteli where the log files are stored and that they're in postfix format. Update config/general.yml with:
-
- MTA_LOG_PATH: '/var/log/mail/mail.log-*'
- MTA_LOG_TYPE: "postfix"
-
-# Troubleshooting
-
-To test mail delivery, run:
-
- $ /usr/sbin/sendmail -bv foi+requrest-1234@localhost
-
-This tells you if sending the emails to 'foi\+.*localhost' is working.
