EMail Server - On Digital Ocean using Docker

We need an EMail Server on Digital Ocean as Docker to serve @wir.social EMails. This is required to change the Email of the admin accordingly and to send EMails from our Server.

What needs to be done:

  • Clarify where we will have the EMail Server Sources located - [ ] ocelot.social repo (NO!) - [ ] wir.social branding repo (not sure) - [ ] extra Repo just containing the docker file (recommended: we want to reuse the EMail Server for multiple domains within our juristriction)
  • Clarify what Software to use - [ ] Suggestion: https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver
  • How do we administrate the Server? (I @ulfgebhardt need access to that)
  • We need the server to answer to @wir.social
  • We need the address admin@wir.social to be served and I need the credentials to that
  • Do we need additional addresses?
  • Can we wildcard all EMails to admin@wir.social ?
  • What changes are needed on ocelot for this to work?

It is important that we can reuse the Mailserver for any other Address we bound to Digital Ocean - there is no sense in operating multiple mailservers.

Motive

Have a EMail Server in the same Infrastructure as we have all the other stuff. It needs to be able to serve multiple domains and administrating it should be easy.

We require this to send Emails from our ocelot instance like the EMail confirmation Code

Implementation

Suggestion: https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver

Validation

Minimum requirement: admin@wir.social must be served and accessable
