Mail setup & delivery
Local readiness is one checkpoint; actual delivery is another.
Mail scope in 1.0.0
Operational Mail acceptance is deferred from the 1.0.0 scope. The setup implementation described on this page remains available, but the v1 documentation does not certify external delivery, provider networking or mailbox recovery. Validate those separately before relying on this host for mail.
Configure deliberately
Mail is Master-only. Choose one mail hostname for the server identity and one or more mail domains for addresses. Check outbound SMTP 25/587/2525, local inbound policy for 25/587/993, DNS and PTR. Host provisioning configures Postfix, Dovecot, OpenDKIM, virtual mailboxes and TLS through the helper. It does not automatically change firewall rules.
DNS and mailbox checks
Publish the required MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, and coordinate PTR with the server provider. The pre-setup inbox is a labelled fixture; after configuration the screen shows service and mailbox management. It is not a live IMAP inbox reader. Confirm external sending and receiving with real messages; local listeners and firewall checks do not establish provider-edge reachability or deliverability.
