Since NixOS 19.09 autoUpgrade also has the ability to do automatic
reboots. Its detection on whether a reboot is necessary is a bit more
sophisticated. Having this option in the mail-server implied to me that
it did something additionally, though it was just a feature which was
not included in NixOS at the time it was introduced for the mail-server.
Mentioning the fact in the documentation might help people not to get
confused why they should turn the `system.autoUpgrade.allowReboot` off
and instead use the mail-servers reboot flag.
fts xapian does not publish configuration changes in a changelog. As a
result, some options that nixos mailserver was setting for it have been
ignored for several years. New options (process_limit) are now
recommended. This adapts the module to these changes.
The default value of partial= is 2, but fts_xapian 1.8.3 now requires it
to be at least 3, and fails loudly in case it is 2. As a result, this
change is required to support fts_xapian 1.8.3 and later.
This allows overwriting the default values for user_attrs to be empty
which is required when using virtual mailboxes with ldap accounts
that have posixAccount attributes set. When user_attrs is empty string
those are ignored then.
Allow the user to specify the name of the ACME configuration that the
mailserver should use. This allows users that request certificates that
aren't the FQDN of the mailserver, for example a wildcard certificate.
Without using umask there's a small time window where paths are world
readable. That is a bad idea to do for secret files (e.g. the dovecot
code path).
Sets up a declaratively configured OpenLDAP instance with users alice
and bob. They each own one email address,
First we test that postfix can communicate with LDAP and do the expected
lookups using the defined maps.
Then we use doveadm to make sure it can look up the two accounts.
Next we check the binding between account and mail address, by logging
in as alice and trying to send from bob@example.com, which alice is not
allowed to do. We expect postfix to reject the sender address here.
Finally we check mail delivery between alice and bob. Alice tries to
send a mail from alice@example.com to bob@example.com and bob then
checks whether it arrived in their mailbox.
