Call for testing: mail-all-in-one

gary-wzl · May 26, 2017, 2:21am

A snap includes both a webmail client and an email server and is built on top of iredmail.

adglkh/mail-all-in-one/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml

name: mail-all-in-one
version: 0.9.5-8
summary: A mail solution consists of a webmail client and a mail server.
description: |
  A mail solution takes lots of inspiration from nextcloud snap and iRedMail open source project. It puts all open source components that make up a whole mail solution into one snap.
  To view full default settings for this mail solution, please run
  $ mail-all-in-one.help

grade: devel
confinement: devmode

apps:
  #Postfix daemon
  postfix:
    command: run-postfix
    daemon: simple
    plugs: [network, network-bind, process-control]
  #Dovecot daemon
  dovecot:
    command: run-dovecot start

You can run the following command to install.

$ sudo snap install --edge --devmode mail-all-in-one

After installation, you need to create a few email accounts in admin panel firstly.

login iRedAdmin(admin panel) with default admin account and password

http://device_ip_address:8090
click ‘Add’ --> ‘User’ in the banner of that webpage to create a couple of users
login Roundcube(webmail front) with one newly created account

http://device_ip_address:8089
compose an email and send it to intranet or extranet email mailbox.

To check the default admin account and password, please run the following command.

 sudo mail-all-in-one.help

intranet email-box
It works fine to send/receive emails to intranet email-box(e.g xxx@example.com)
extranet email-box
You probably will always have some emails end up in the spam folder due to spam filters(e.g gmail). Meanwhile, it will probably fail to send an email to an extranet email-box if you’re behind a firewall.

To modify the admin account and password, please run the following command.

$ sudo snap set mail-all-in-one admin-username=<New Admin Username>

$ sudo snap set mail-all-in-one admin-password=<New Admin Password>

As of now, devmode is needed for the snap installation as bunch of seccomp denial(fchown) occurs
in strict confinement while using dovecot for a local delivery agent.
Some tweaks are needed in snapcraft.yaml file after the user & group management related interface is landed.

Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks

P.S.

User1 to User2 within the same domain should remain internal to this ubuntu core 18 system (which only has this one snap in it), I get “SMTP Error (-1): Connection to server failed.” when I try to send the test message via roundcube.

I don’t see postfix running:
$ ps ax|grep postfix
833 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/sh /snap/mail-all-in-one/41/bin/run-postfix
6345 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto postfix

From outside this ubuntu core 18:
Isn’t port 25 smtp supposed to be open for incoming emails via MX records?
I was also expecting 587 submission for external mail clients like Thunderbird to authenticate and send.
