I've been trying to achieve a working mail setup on nixos by using simple-nixos-mailserver.
mailserver = {
enable = true;
certificateScheme = "acme-nginx";
enableManageSieve = true;
fqdn = "email.teatastic.org";
domains = ["teatastic.org"];
mailboxes = {
Drafts = {
auto = "subscribe";
specialUse = "Drafts";
};
Junk = {
auto = "subscribe";
specialUse = "Junk";
};
Sent = {
auto = "subscribe";
specialUse = "Sent";
};
Trash = {
auto = "no";
specialUse = "Trash";
};
};
loginAccounts = {
"[email protected]" = {
hashedPasswordFile = config.sops.secrets.password.path;
aliases = ["[email protected]"];
};
};
fullTextSearch = {
enable = false;
enforced = "body";
indexAttachments = true;
memoryLimit = 512;
};
enableImap = true;
enablePop3 = true;
enableImapSsl = true;
enablePop3Ssl = true;
virusScanning = false;
};
services.roundcube = {
enable = true;
package = pkgs.roundcube.withPlugins (
plugins: [
plugins.carddav
plugins.contextmenu
plugins.custom_from
plugins.persistent_login
plugins.thunderbird_labels
]
);
plugins = [
"attachment_reminder" # Roundcube internal plugin
"carddav"
"contextmenu"
"custom_from"
"managesieve" # Roundcube internal plugin
"newmail_notifier" # Roundcube internal plugin
"persistent_login"
"thunderbird_labels"
"zipdownload" # Roundcube internal plugin
];
#dicts = with pkgs.aspellDicts; [en];
hostName = config.mailserver.fqdn;
maxAttachmentSize = 100;
extraConfig = ''
$config['smtp_server'] = "tls://${config.mailserver.fqdn}";
$config['smtp_user'] = "%u";
$config['smtp_pass'] = "%p";
'';
};
security.acme = {
acceptTerms = true;
defaults.email = "[email protected]";
};
firewall = {
enable = true;
allowedTCPPorts = [
25 587 143 993 110 995 # Email
80 # Nginx
];
};
I'm logging in through roundcube, which works as expected. However, when I get to the point of composing an email to somebody, it just starts a "Sending message..." loop without actually sending anything.
I've forwarded the aforementioned ports on my router, yet it fails.
I'm using Cloudflare and I get no output from
dig 1.0.0.1.email.teatastic.org +short
which should mean that my dns is not blocked. Additionally, I discovered that my self hosted email just appeared as a destination address on Cloudflare. The problem is that it's "Pending verification", yet I don't receive any mails to actually confirm it.I've tried to email myself from both proton and gmail, but no emails appear in Roundcube. Since I have no prior experience with this, I might be overlooking something important, yet I'm not sure what.
