MACOS SERVER MAIL INSTALL

I’ve been migrating deprecated macOS Server functionality to MacPorts see the repo.

Full deployment also requires a working DNS configuration on both the LAN and the internet (pre-installed with mail-server), including SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records, trusted TLS certificates, port forwarding, possibly a mail relay, and more. Users must reconfigure the mail-server installation for their own system, network, and security model specifics by editing all necessary files and checking file permissions. See the individual projects for configuration details, as well as Setup, with many newer capabilities added. The configuration files in this port are a combination of macOS Server version 5.7's Mail server Surrogate TLS and DKIM configurations are created during the installation these must be changed prior to deployment. These are all installed and configured automatically when mail-server is installed. This mail server uses postfix for the MTA, dovecot for the MDA, solr for fast search, Rspamd for a milter, and clamav for email virus scanning.

That is always what you get when trying to search for setting up a mail server on a Mac.Ī basic, working, configurable mail server is now available in MacPorts: There are about 90 million help articles on the web about setting up mail accounts in mail clients. The other problem here is that it's virtually impossible to search for help on this topic.

Do I just need to install dovecot and postfix via Homebrew? Are there other pieces you need? Is there a better way to do this entirely? I've never set up my own mail servers by hand. I've run Mail servers under OS X Server since 10.3. It's all easy (if a little time consuming).īut that brings it to Mail.

Configuring `pf` firewall is oddly quirky but has an easy config once you shake out all the bugs. Setting up a VPN server is very easy too. And with the death of 'OS X Server' aka 'Server.app', I've been doing everything by hand.
