<h2>Why build this?</h2>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Mass electronic surveillance by governments revealed over the last year has spurred a new movement to <a href="http://redecentralize.org/">re-decentralize the web</a>: to empower individuals to be their own service providers again.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Although the core protocal of email, <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html">SMTP</a>, is completely decentralized, in practice email has become highly centralized because it is so damn difficult to implement the dozens of modern protocols that surround it. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<h2>A mail server in a box</h2>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit machine into a working mail server including all of the components listed <span class="hidden-xs">on the left</span><span class="hidden-sm hidden-md hidden-lg">below</span>.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<h2>My goals</h2>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>I want to...</p>
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>Make deploying a good mail server easy.</li>
|
||
|
<li>Promote <a href="http://redecentralize.org/">decentralization</a>, innovation, and privacy on the web.</li>
|
||
|
<li>Have automated, auditable, and <a href="http://sharknet.us/2014/02/01/automated-configuration-management-challenges-with-idempotency/">idempotent</a> system configuration.</li>
|
||
|
<li><strong>Not</strong> build a mail server that the NSA cannot hack.</li>
|
||
|
<li><strong>Not</strong> be endlessly customizable by power users.</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Who am I? I'm <a href="http://razor.occams.info">@JoshData</a>. I’ve been running my own mail server for 15 years and am tired of feeling like the last hold-out. So join me.</p>

<ul>
|

|
<li data-title="SMTP" data-content="SMTP is the core protocol of email. Mail servers talk in SMTP, and when you send off a new email you connect to your box using SMTP."><a href="http://www.postfix.org/">SMTP</a></li>

<li data-title="Webmail" data-content="Check your email from your browser from anywhere. We use the open source Roundcube Webmail project."><a href="http://roundcube.net/">Webmail</a></li>
|
||
|
<li>Your log-in to your box is always encrypted over TLS/HTTPS.</li>

<li><a href="https://spamassassin.apache.org/">Spam filtering</a></li>
|

<li data-title="Greylisting" data-content="Greylisting cuts down on spam by soft-rejecting mail the first time it arrives. All compliant SMTP servers re-send the mail after a few minutes. Spammers don't usually bother trying again."><a href="http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/">Greylisting</a></li>
|
||
|
<li>The box is also a DNS server and it manages five DNS protocols for you:</li>
|
||
|
<li data-title="Email Identity" data-content="Your box sets up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for you. These DNS-based protocols tell recipients of your mail that you were definitely the sender."><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework">SPF</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail">DKIM</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMARC">DMARC</a></li>
|
||
|
<li data-title="Secure DNS and TLSA" data-content="When enabled, DNSSEC provides a higher level of protection against active attacks. DANE TLSA guarantees that mail sent between two Mail-in-a-Boxes will be encrypted."><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNSSEC">DNSSEC</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication_of_Named_Entities">DANE TLSA</a></li>
|
||
|
<li>A command-line tool and an HTTP-based API for administering mailboxes and mail aliases.</li>
|
||
|
<li>As Mail-in-a-Box improves, you can update your machine in just a few minutes. No need to re-install from scratch.</li>
