Tutorial

Work in progress

The following tutorial is not yet complete.

Let's setup our own vSMTP infrastructure and create a MUA server.

Goal of this tutorial​

vSMTP is based on the micro-services architecture, and a good way to configure your server is by declaring your services via a docker-compose file.

In this tutorial, we will:

  • Configure a MUA infrastructure using docker compose.
  • Filter emails.
  • Verify DKIM signatures.
  • Setup authentication MySQL user database. (Optional)

The resulting infrastructure will be a great fit for a MUA (Mail User Agent), which delivers emails from the internet to a local database.

Here is a schema of the entire infrastructure that will be achieved at the end of this tutorial.

Requirements​

Before starting this tutorial, make sure that you have installed vSMTP images in the Installation chapter.
