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.
