With this change, mailing lists can now have associated login accounts, which allow folks to send emails via SMTP from a `@nixos.org` email address. This completes NixOS#510 I opted to keep dovecot around. We're not using it for IMAP, just for `SASL` authentication. It would have requires some (brittle) overriding of settings from `nixos-mailserver` to get rid of dovecot. If we really want to get rid of dovecot someday, I believe we should try to add an option upstream in `simple-nixos-mailserver`.
This was done in #511 |

Relates to #485.
Emails on the
nixos.org
domain are mostly mailing lists. However, we occasionally enable people to send emails from nixos.org addresses.elections@
, which isn't needed right now (the SC election recently finished).smtpd_sasl_path
. This is documented by postfix here: https://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#server_cyrusvirtual_alias_maps
file. We may want to encrypt these, so it may make sense to re-use the infrastructure in https://github.com/NixOS/infra/blob/master/non-critical-infra/modules/mailserver/mailing-lists.nix to do this.virtual_transport
setting (see nixos-mailserver setting and the postfix docs). I'm not sure what exactly we'd set it to.mailbox_transport
setting, but I'm not sure it's relevant here.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
