Overview - Configuring a secure mail server

In this tutorial you will learn how to configure a mail server that uses DKIM, Rspamd and MariaDB to deliver mails securely. You will install a Roundcube webmail interface to be able to read your mails directly from your browser.

Pre-work

Before you continue with this tutorial, some configuration is required to make sure your mail server will be working.

• To ensure that other servers will accept mails sent from your Instance a valid reverse DNS within your own domain name (for example mail.domain.com) must be configured.
• The SMTP ports have been unlocked in the security group of the server.

1. Start by updating your system to make sure you have the latest software releases installed:

   apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
   Copy code

2. Before starting the installation of the mail server, make sure that there is no other mail software already installed:

   service sendmail stop; update-rc.d -f sendmail remove
   Copy code

   Tip:

   If you receive a message Failed to stop sendmail.service: Unit sendmail.service not loaded. you can ignore it. It will only tell you that sendmail has not been installed, so it cannot be removed.

Installing PostfixAdmin

All mailboxes will belong to virtual users. To manage mailboxes, we need one system user which will be the owner of all mailboxes and will be used by all virtual users to access their emails on the server. The home directory of the user will be /var/mail/vmail and all mailboxes will be stored in that directory:

sudo groupadd -g 5000 vmail
sudo useradd -u 5000 -g vmail -s /usr/sbin/nologin -d /var/mail/vmail -m vmail
Copy code

As PostfixAdmin is a PHP application, a webserver is required. We will use Nginx with PHP7.2 and MariaDB:

sudo apt-get install nginx mariadb-server php7.4-fpm php7.4-cli php7.4-imap php7.4-json php7.4-mysql php7.4-opcache php7.4-mbstring php7.4-readline
Copy code

1. Set a root password for MariaDB:

   mysql_secure_installation
   Copy code

   The setup tool will ask you the following questions:

   • Enter current password for root (enter for none): Press Enter
   • Set root password? [Y/n] Type Y
   • New password: Enter the password for the root user
   • Re-enter new password: Repeat the password
   • Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Type Y
   • Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Type Y
   • Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Type Y
   • Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Type Y

2. Download and unpack PostfixAdmin. The latest version at the time of writing of this tutorial is version 3.2:

   wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/postfixadmin-3.2/postfixadmin-3.2.tar.gz
   tar xzf postfixadmin-3.2.tar.gz
   Copy code

3. Move PostfixAdmin into the directory /var/www/postfixadmin:

   sudo mv postfixadmin-3.2/ /var/www/postfixadmin
   rm -f postfixadmin-3.2.tar.gz
   mkdir /var/www/postfixadmin/templates_c
   Copy code

4. Change the ownership of the directory to the www-data user, as Nginx and PHP are using it:

   sudo chown -R www-data: /var/www/postfixadmin
   Copy code

5. PostfixAdmin will use a MySQL database to store information. Connect to your MariaDB Server to create a new database and user:

   mysql -u root -p
   Copy code

6. Create the database, remember to replace your_secret_password with a password for the postfixadmin user:

   CREATE DATABASE postfixadmin;
   GRANT ALL ON postfixadmin.* TO 'postfixadmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_secret_password';
   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   Copy code

7. Create a configuration file /var/www/postfixadmin/config.local.php and open it in a text browser:

   <?php
   $CONF['configured'] = true;
   
   $CONF['database_type'] = 'mysqli';
   $CONF['database_host'] = 'localhost';
   $CONF['database_user'] = 'postfixadmin';
   $CONF['database_password'] = 'your_secret_password';
   $CONF['database_name'] = 'postfixadmin';
   
   $CONF['default_aliases'] = array (
   'abuse'      => 'abuse@example.com',
   'hostmaster' => 'hostmaster@example.com',
   'postmaster' => 'postmaster@example.com',
   'webmaster'  => 'webmaster@example.com'
   );
   
   $CONF['fetchmail'] = 'NO';
   $CONF['show_footer_text'] = 'NO';
   
   $CONF['quota'] = 'YES';
   $CONF['domain_quota'] = 'YES';
   $CONF['quota_multiplier'] = '1024000';
   $CONF['used_quotas'] = 'YES';
   $CONF['new_quota_table'] = 'YES';
   
   $CONF['aliases'] = '0';
   $CONF['mailboxes'] = '0';
   $CONF['maxquota'] = '0';
   $CONF['domain_quota_default'] = '0';
   ?>
   Copy code

   Note:

   Remember to replace your_secret_password with the password for the database user.

   The configuration defines the database type, login credentials, default aliases, disabled fetchmail and enabled quota.

8. Now run the following script to install the database schema:

   sudo -u www-data php /var/www/postfixadmin/public/upgrade.php
   Copy code

   As the database is ready now, it is possible to create the first superadmin from the CLI tools:

   sudo bash /var/www/postfixadmin/scripts/postfixadmin-cli admin add
   Copy code

9. Enter the email address of the admin, and answer the questions of the CLI.

   To secure the communication with the webserver, we use Let’s Encrypt to get a free SSL certificate:

   sudo apt-get install software-properties-common lsb-release
   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt install python3-certbot-nginx
   sudo certbot --nginx
   Copy code

   Certbot will automatically request the certificate and rewrite the Nginx configuration file. The file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mail.example.com.conf should resemble the following example:

   server {
       if ($host = mail.example.com) {
           return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
       } # managed by Certbot
       listen 80;
       server_name mail.example.com;
   }
   
   server {
       listen 443 ssl http2;
       server_name mail.example.com;
       root /var/www;
   
       location / {
       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
       }
   
       location /postfixadmin {
       index index.php;
       try_files $uri $uri/ /postfixadmin/public/login.php;
       }
   
       location ~* \.php$ {
           fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
           if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {return 404;}
           fastcgi_pass  unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
           fastcgi_index index.php;
           include fastcgi_params;
           fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
       }
   
       ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
       ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
   }
   Copy code

10. Restart Nginx to activate the configuration:

    service nginx restart
    Copy code

Installation of Postfix and Dovecot

1. Install the required software. You can install all required packages with one command with apt-get:

   sudo apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql dovecot-imapd dovecot-lmtpd dovecot-pop3d dovecot-mysql
   Copy code

   You will be asked some questions during the installation:

   • For server type choose Internet Site
   • For mail name, enter the FQDN of the server (for example: mail.example.com)

   We use virtual users in our configuration. Therefore we have to create the configuration files for postfix to use the database we have created previously.

2. Start by creating a directory to store the files:

   sudo mkdir -p /etc/postfix/sql
   Copy code

3. Create and open the file /etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf in a text editor and put the following content in it:

   user = postfixadmin
   password = your_secret_password
   hosts = 127.0.0.1
   dbname = postfixadmin
   query = SELECT domain FROM domain WHERE domain='%s' AND active = '1'
   Copy code

4. Create and open the file /etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf in a text editor and put the following content in it:

   user = postfixadmin
   password = your_secret_password
   hosts = 127.0.0.1
   dbname = postfixadmin
   query = SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='%s' AND active = '1'
   Copy code

5. Create and open the file /etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_alias_domain_catchall_maps.cf in a text editor and put the following content in it:

   user = postfixadmin
   password = your_secret_password
   hosts = 127.0.0.1
   dbname = postfixadmin
   query  = SELECT goto FROM alias,alias_domain WHERE alias_domain.alias_domain = '%d' and alias.address = CONCAT('@', alias_domain.target_domain) AND alias.active = 1 AND alias_domain.active='1'
   Copy code

6. Create and open the file /etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_alias_domain_maps.cf in a text editor and put the following content in it:

   user = postfixadmin
   password = your_secret_password
   hosts = 127.0.0.1
   dbname = postfixadmin
   query = SELECT goto FROM alias,alias_domain WHERE alias_domain.alias_domain = '%d' and alias.address = CONCAT('%u', '@', alias_domain.target_domain) AND alias.active = 1 AND alias_domain.active='1'
   Copy code

7. Create and open the file /etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf in a text editor and put the following content in it:

   user = postfixadmin
   password = your_secret_password
   hosts = 127.0.0.1
   dbname = postfixadmin
   query = SELECT maildir FROM mailbox WHERE username='%s' AND active = '1'
   Copy code

8. Create and open the file /etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_alias_domain_mailbox_maps.cf in a text editor and put the following content in it:

   user = postfixadmin
   password = your_secret_password
   hosts = 127.0.0.1
   dbname = postfixadmin
   query = SELECT maildir FROM mailbox,alias_domain WHERE alias_domain.alias_domain = '%d' and mailbox.username = CONCAT('%u', '@', alias_domain.target_domain) AND mailbox.active = 1 AND alias_domain.active='1'
   Copy code

9. Once the MySQL configuration files are created, update the configuration of Postfix:

   sudo postconf -e "virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf"
   sudo postconf -e "virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_alias_domain_maps.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_alias_domain_catchall_maps.cf"
   sudo postconf -e "virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_alias_domain_mailbox_maps.cf"
   Copy code

   Note:

   The postconf command can be used to display the actual configuration, change configuration values, or display other configuration information about the Postfix mail system.

   Local delivery will be handled by Dovecot’s local delivery agent. It will take mail from an MTA (Postfix) and deliver it to a local user’s mailbox.

   sudo postconf -e "virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp"
   Copy code

10. Configure TLS parameters by using the Let’s encrypt SSL certificate:

    sudo postconf -e 'smtp_tls_security_level = may'
    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_security_level = may'
    sudo postconf -e 'smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes'
    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1'
    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_received_header = yes'
    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/fullchain.pem'
    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/privkey.pem'
    Copy code

11. Configure the authenticated SMTP settings:

    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot'
    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth'
    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_local_domain ='
    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous'
    sudo postconf -e 'broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes'
    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes'
    sudo postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination'
    Copy code

12. Enable the TLS/SSL and submission ports in the Postfix configuration file. Open the file /etc/postfix/master.cf with a text editor, uncomment the submission and smtps sections as following. Make sure that there is a whitespace in front of the -o as it is required:

    submission inet n       -       y       -       -       smtpd
    -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
    -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
    -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
    #  -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no
    -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
    #  -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=$mua_helo_restrictions
    #  -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions
    #  -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=
    #  -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
    -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
    smtps     inet  n       -       y       -       -       smtpd
    -o syslog_name=postfix/smtps
    -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
    -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
    #  -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no
    -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
    #  -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=$mua_helo_restrictions
    #  -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions
    #  -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=
    #  -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
    -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
    Copy code

13. Restart postfix to take the modifications into effect:

    service postfix restart
    Copy code

14. Edit the file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext as following:

    driver = mysql
    connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=postfixadmin user=postfixadmin password=your_secret_password
    default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT
    iterate_query = SELECT username AS user FROM mailbox
    user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/mail/vmail/',maildir) AS home, \
    CONCAT('maildir:/var/mail/vmail/',maildir) AS mail, \
    5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=',quota) AS quota_rule \
    FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = 1
    password_query = SELECT username AS user,password FROM mailbox \
    WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1'
    Copy code

15. Edit the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf with the required information as shown below:

    ...
    mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n
    ...
    mail_uid = vmail
    mail_gid = vmail
    ...
    first_valid_uid = 5000
    last_valid_uid = 5000
    ...
    mail_privileged_group = mail
    ...
    mail_plugins = quota
    ...
    Copy code

16. Modify the information in the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf as following:

    ...
    disable_plaintext_auth = yes
    ...
    auth_mechanisms = plain login
    ...
    #!include auth-system.conf.ext
    !include auth-sql.conf.ext
    ...
    Copy code

17. Edit the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf as following:

    ...
    service lmtp {
    unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp {
        mode = 0600
        user = postfix
        group = postfix
    }
    ...
    }
    ...
    service auth {
    ...
    unix_listener auth-userdb {
        mode = 0600
        user = vmail
        group = vmail
    }
    ...
    unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
        mode = 0666
        user = postfix
        group = postfix
    }
    ...
    }
    ...
    service auth-worker {
    user = vmail
    }
    ...
    service dict {
    unix_listener dict {
        mode = 0660
        user = vmail
        group = vmail
    }
    }
    ...
    Copy code

18. Edit the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf as following:

    ...

    ...
    ssl_cipher_list = EECDH+AES:EDH+AES+aRSA
    ...
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes
    ...
    Copy code

19. Add the following line to the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf

    ...
    protocol imap {
    ...
    mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota
    ...
    }
    ...
    Copy code

20. Edit the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf as following:

    ...
    protocol imap {
    postmaster_address = postmaster@example.com
    mail_plugins = $mail_plugins
    }
    ...
    Copy code

21. Add a spam folder in the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf:

    ...
    mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
    }
    mailbox Spam {
    special_use = \Junk
    auto = subscribe
    }
    mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk
    }
    ...
    Copy code

22. Configure Dovecot to connect to the MySQL database to manage the quotas, either per domain or per user. It will send a notification by email once the mailbox of a user has reached a certain level of saturation. Edit the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf:

    quota = dict:User quota::proxy::sqlquota
    quota_rule = *:storage=5GB
    quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M
    quota_grace = 10%%
    quota_exceeded_message = Quota exceeded, please contact your system administrator.
    quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning 100 %u
    quota_warning2 = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u
    quota_warning3 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u
    quota_warning4 = storage=85%% quota-warning 85 %u
    }
    
    service quota-warning {
    executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh
    user = vmail
    
    unix_listener quota-warning {
    group = vmail
    mode = 0660
    user = vmail
    }
    }
    
    dict {
    sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
    Copy code

23. Make sure your MySQL credentials are correct then edit the file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext and add the following content:

    ...
    connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=postfixadmin user=postfixadmin password=your_secret_password
    ...
    map {
    pattern = priv/quota/storage
    table = quota2
    username_field = username
    value_field = bytes
    }
    map {
    pattern = priv/quota/messages
    table = quota2
    username_field = username
    value_field = messages
    }
    ...
    # map {
    #   pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox
    #   table = expires
    #   value_field = expire_stamp
    #
    #   fields {
    #     username = $user
    #     mailbox = $mailbox
    #   }
    # }
    ...
    Copy code

24. Create the following script, which sends a warning to a user that reaches the capacity limits of his mailbox. Edit the file /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh:

    #!/bin/sh
    PERCENT=$1
    USER=$2
    cat << EOF | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $USER -o "plugin/quota=dict:User quota::noenforcing:proxy::sqlquota"
    From: postmaster@example.com
    Subject: Quota warning
    
    Your mailbox is $PERCENT% full. Don't forget to make a backup of old messages to remain able to receive mails.
    EOF
    Copy code

25. Make the script executable:

    sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh
    Copy code

    And restart dovecot:

    service dovecot restart
    Copy code

Your mail server is now ready to be used, and you can create mailboxes at http://your_servers_ip/postfixadmin

Installing Rspamd

To protect yourself from spam and to increase the trust level of your mails, we use Rspamd and create DKIM and DMARC DNS records.

Installing Redis

Redis is used by Rspamd as a storage and caching system. It can easily be installed with apt:

```code
sudo apt install redis-server
```
Copy code

Installing Rspamd

1. Add the repository of Rspamd to your apt sources with the following command:

   wget -O- https://rspamd.com/apt-stable/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
   echo "deb http://rspamd.com/apt-stable/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rspamd.list
   Copy code

2. Then update your apt cache and install the tool:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install rspamd
   Copy code

Configuring Rspamd

1. Once the installation has finished, create the config files for Rspamd in the directory /etc/rspamd/local.d/local.d/.

   The file /etc/rspamd/local.d/worker-normal.inc contains information about the port on which Rspamd listens. The default port is 11333, bind it to your localhost by adding the following line to the file:

   bind_socket = "127.0.0.1:11333";
   Copy code

2. Configure a proxy between Postfix and Rspamd, it listens on port 11332 and uses milter to communicate between the two tools. Edit the file /etc/rspamd/local.d/worker-proxy.inc

3. Set a password for the worker. To generate an encrypted password, run the following command:

   rspamadm pw --encrypt -p your_secret_password
   Copy code

   Note:

   Remember to replace your_secret_password with your own password

   You will see an output like the following:

   rspamadm pw --encrypt -p your_secret_password
   $2$93qin9nkifzjpr7taqhs9guua888tnny$dnys6um6xm1gb1amgnz9hocuz7grxuk5z9yjw87psrk6yu641oiy
   Copy code

4. Edit the file /etc/rspamd/local.d/worker-controller.inc and put the encrypted password into it:

   password = "$2$93qin9nkifzjpr7taqhs9guua888tnny$dnys6um6xm1gb1amgnz9hocuz7grxuk5z9yjw87psrk6yu641oiy";
   
   Configure redis to be used with rspamd by editing the file `/etc/rspamd/local.d/classifier-bayes.conf`:
   
   ```code
   servers = "127.0.0.1";
   backend = "redis";
   Copy code

5. Set the milter headers in the file /etc/rspamd/local.d/milter_headers.conf:

   use = ["x-spamd-bar", "x-spam-level", "authentication-results"];
   Copy code

6. Restart Rspamd:

   sudo service rspamd restart
   Copy code

7. Add a proxy in the Nginx configuration file (for example: /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mail.example.com.conf):

   ...
   location /rspamd {
       proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:11334/;
       proxy_set_header Host $host;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
   }
   ...
   Copy code

8. Restart Nginx:

   sudo service nginx restart
   Copy code

You can access the web interface of Rspamd now at: http://your_servers_ip/rspamd. To authenticate use the password you have set with the rspamadm pw command.

Configuring Postfix

To use Rspamd with Postfix, the configuration has to be updated with postconf:

```code
sudo postconf -e "milter_protocol = 6"
sudo postconf -e "milter_mail_macros = i {mail_addr} {client_addr} {client_name} {auth_authen}"
sudo postconf -e "milter_default_action = accept"
sudo postconf -e "smtpd_milters = inet:127.0.0.1:11332"
sudo postconf -e "non_smtpd_milters = inet:127.0.0.1:11332"

Restart postfix to take the changes into effect:
```code
sudo service postfix restart
```
Copy code

Configuring Dovecot

Dovecot is already installed on the server, add the sieve filtering module and integrate it with Rspamd.

1. Install sieve via apt:

   sudo apt-get install dovecot-sieve dovecot-managesieved
   Copy code

2. Open the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf and edit it as following:

   ...
   protocol lmtp {
   postmaster_address = postmaster@example.com
   mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
   }
   ...
   Copy code

3. Open the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf and edit it as following:

   ...
   protocol imap {
   ...
   mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota imap_sieve
   ...
   }
   ...
   Copy code

4. Edit the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf as following:

   ...
   service managesieve-login {
   inet_listener sieve {
       port = 4190
   }
   }
   ...
   service managesieve {
   process_limit = 1024
   }
   ...
   Copy code

5. Open and edit the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf as following:

   plugin {
       ...
       # sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve
       sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms
       sieve_before = /var/vmail/mail/sieve/global/spam-global.sieve
       sieve = file:/var/vmail/mail/sieve/%d/%n/scripts;active=/var/vmail/mail/sieve/%d/%n/active-script.sieve
   
       imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Spam
       imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY
       imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/var/vmail/mail/sieve/global/report-spam.sieve
   
       imapsieve_mailbox2_name = *
       imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Spam
       imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY
       imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/var/vmail/mail/sieve/global/report-ham.sieve
   
       sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/bin
       sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe
       ....
   }
   Copy code

6. Create a directory for the sieve scripts:

   mkdir -p /var/vmail/mail/sieve/global
   Copy code

7. Create a global sieve filter in the file /var/vmail/mail/sieve/global/spam-global.sieve. It will move emails marked as spam directly to the spam folder:

   require ["fileinto","mailbox"];
   
   if anyof(
       header :contains ["X-Spam-Flag"] "YES",
       header :contains ["X-Spam"] "Yes",
       header :contains ["Subject"] "*** SPAM ***"
       )
   {
       fileinto :create "Spam";
       stop;
   }
   Copy code

8. Create a script, named /var/vmail/mail/sieve/global/spam-global.sieve, that will be triggered each time you manually move an email into the spam folder:

   require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve"];
   pipe :copy "rspamc" ["learn_spam"];
   Copy code

9. Create a script, named /var/vmail/mail/sieve/global/report-ham.sieve, that will be triggered each time when you move an email out of the spam folder:

   require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve"];
   pipe :copy "rspamc" ["learn_ham"];
   Copy code

10. Compile the sieve scripts and set permissions:

    sievec /var/vmail/mail/sieve/global/spam-global.sieve
    sievec /var/vmail/mail/sieve/global/report-spam.sieve
    sievec /var/vmail/mail/sieve/global/report-ham.sieve
    sudo chown -R vmail: /var/vmail/mail/sieve/
    Copy code

Creating DKIM keys

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an email authentication method designed to detect email spoofing. It allows the receiving server to verify the origin of an email by affixing a digital signature to it. Verification of the signature is carried out using the signer’s public key published in the DNS. It can be used to detect fraudulent emails.

1. Create a new directory to store the DKIM key and generate a new DKIM keypair by using the rspamadm utility. In the following example we use mail as a DKIM selector. It will generate a keypair that can be used for all domains handled by the mail server.

   mkdir /var/lib/rspamd/dkim/
   rspamadm dkim_keygen -b 2048 -s mail -k /var/lib/rspamd/dkim/mail.key > /var/lib/rspamd/dkim/mail.pub
   Copy code

   You will find two files in the directory:

   • mail.key - The privatse key file
   • mail.pub - The public key file

2. Create a new file /etc/rspamd/local.d/dkim_signing.conf to tell Rspamd where to look for the DKIM key and the selector name. The last line will enable DKIM signing for alias sender addresses:

   selector = "mail";
   path = "/var/lib/rspamd/dkim/$selector.key";
   allow_username_mismatch = true;
   Copy code

3. Rspamd supports also ARC signatures, use the same configuration file and copy it

   cp  /etc/rspamd/local.d/dkim_signing.conf /etc/rspamd/local.d/arc.conf
   Copy code

4. Restart Rspamd:

   sudo service rspamd restart
   Copy code

DNS settings

To sign your mails with DKIM, you have to add the public key to your DNS zone.

1. Retrieve the key:

   cat /var/lib/rspamd/dkim/mail.pub
   Copy code

   An output like the following one will display:

   mail._domainkey IN TXT ( "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; "
       "p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAxzllrHkbUwSR24B6iG+TgNTOU43lZhTPJemo8PKXkgaVppGJ57tlWOe9U321Qk+Ksk9qoukR4f39TCMQdAgtEPFpWSBWJJE9C2SmNz38SmhTC0AkvIzBxCdatitK2aWjHq4s9bsoQ1gIQlXKM+V7GbN2LFCBfvAU7ElBQk+QG2DuxGD/XNDLQWloYEWcqkUfxlHr0znoY86jkglVZ"
       "nhi/cAoE0SbzjphCtibT9T1w6AztxV1yK2VTJPpBFdtAsP1Sa3GDbTn0HATHUJI8eOIXtFcIBbYisiOIWjisE3TXFpvkS69Q0gvxVFYDnftLvsf5AticeygdMOVbK1o3T4Z7QIDAQAB"
   ) ;
   Copy code

You can add the information as a TXT record in the DNS zone of your domain.

Installing Roundcube Webmail

To comfortably read your mails directly within your web browser, we will install a Roundcube web mail interface.

1. Start by installing all PHP dependencies:

   sudo apt install php-intl php-mail-mime php-net-smtp php-net-socket php-pear php-xml php7.4-intl php7.4-xml php7.4-gd php7.4-gd php-imagick
   Copy code

2. Log into your MariaDB server and create a MySQL database for Roundcube:

   mysql -u root -p
   Copy code

   CREATE DATABASE roundcubemail;
   GRANT ALL ON roundcubemail.* TO 'roundcube'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_secret_password';
   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   \q
   Copy code

3. Download roundcube, unpack it and move it into the web directory:

   wget https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/download/1.3.6/roundcubemail-1.3.6-complete.tar.gz
   tar xzf roundcubemail-1.3.6-complete.tar.gz
   sudo mv roundcubemail-1.3.6 /var/www/webmail
   rm roundcubemail-1.3.6-complete.tar.gz
   Copy code

4. Change the ownership of the folder and all files in it to the www-data user:

   chown -R www-data: /var/www/webmail
   Copy code

5. Edit the Nginx configuration (/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mail.example.com) of your server and add the information for the roundcube directory:

   ...
   location /webmail {
   index index.php;
   try_files $uri $uri/ /webmail/index.php;
   }
   location ~ ^/webmail/(README|INSTALL|LICENSE|CHANGELOG|UPGRADING)$ {
   deny all;
   }
   location ~ ^/webmail/(bin|SQL|config|temp|logs)/ {
   deny all;
   }
   ...
   Copy code

6. Restart Nginx:

   service nginx restart
   Copy code

7. Launch installation from https://your_server_ip/webmail/installer/ and enter all the required information.

8. Remove the installer for security reasons:

   sudo rm -rf /var/www/roundcubemail/installer
   Copy code
