About
=====

This directory contains sample files for setting up a Noosfero-integrated mail
service with Postfix, Courier Mail Server and PostgreSQL. The instructions
assume a Debian GNU/Linux system, and were tested specifically in the "etch"
release (the stable release at the time of writing the instructions).

Installation
============

Install and configure Noosfero
-------------------------------

Follow Noosfero's own instructions. Before letting users register at your Noosfero site, add the following line to config/local.rb:

User.system_encryption_method = :md5

NOTE: the mail system will work __only__ if Noosfero uses md5 passwords!

In the instructions below, replace **NOOSFERO_DB** with the name of the
Noosfero database you'll use for production (e.g. "noosfero_production",
"noosfero" etc).

Install the required packages for the mail system
-------------------------------------------------

The following packages must be installed:

courier-authlib-postgresql
courier-imap
courier-imap-ssl
courier-pop
courier-pop-ssl
imp4
libapache2-mod-php5
libpam-pgsql
php5-imap
php5-pear
php5-pgsql
postfix
postfix-pgsql
sasl2-bin

Answer the configuration questions like this:

Package: courier-base
Question: create directories for web-based administration?
Answer: No

Package: postfix
Question: General type of configuration?
Answer: Internet Site

Package: postfix
Question: Mail name?
Answer: mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM (e.g.)

Package: libc-client2002edebian
Question: Continue installing libc-client without Maildir support?
Answer: Yes

Create a better SSL certificate for the mail system
---------------------------------------------------

(cf http://sial.org/howto/openssl/self-signed/)

	cd /etc/ssl

	openssl genrsa 1024 > private/mail.zen3.net.key

	openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days $[10*365] -key private/mail.zen3.net.key -out certs/mail.zen3.net.cert -config mail.zen3.net.cnf

	cat private/mail.zen3.net.key certs/mail.zen3.net.cert > certs/mail.zen3.net.pem

Configure courier SSL to use your new certificate
-------------------------------------------------

Change imapd-ssl and pop-ssl with:

TLS_CERTFILE=/etc/ssl/certs/mail.zen3.net.pem

and restart the services:

	invoke-rc.d courier-imap-ssl restart
	invoke-rc.d courier-pop-ssl restart


Configure postfix to use your new certificate
---------------------------------------------

update /etc/postfix/main.cf with

smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/mail.zen3.net.cert
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/mail.zen3.net.key

The restart postfix:

	invoke-rc.d postfix restart

Create a user for the virtual mail system
-----------------------------------------

Create a system user for the virtual mail folders. This user will be used by
Postfix for delivering mail into the folders.

addgroup --gid 5000 vmail
adduser --system --uid 5000 --gid 5000 vmail

Configure a read-only user for your database
--------------------------------------------

Create a user in the PostgreSQL database that will be used by the mail authentication mechanisms to connect to the database. Become the postgres user and issue the command (replace **DBUSER** with the name you choose for this user):

createuser -P **DBUSER**

The -P option tells createuser to ask you for a password. Remember to take note
of this password. From now on, we'll refer to it as **DBPASSWORD**. When you
see **DBPASSWORD** in the instructions below, replace it with the password you
typed. Similarly, when you see **DBUSER** in the instructions below, replace it
with the username you chose to this database user.

Configure the PostgreSQL database
---------------------------------

Create the database view that will be queried by Courier's PostgreSQL
authentication module:

psql **NOOSFERO_DB** < mail_users.sql

After that, assure you give read permissions on the recently-created view to the  user you created before and on tables domains and users:

psql **NOOSFERO_DB**
[...]
=> grant select on mail_users to **DBUSER**;
=> grant select on domains to **DBUSER**;
=> grant select on users to **DBUSER**;
=> grant select on profiles to **DBUSER**;
=> grant select on environments to **DBUSER**;


Configure courier to authenticate against the PostgreSQL database:
------------------------------------------------------------------

in /etc/courier/authdaemonrc, find the line that defines authmodulelist and change it to look like this:

authmodulelist="authpgsql"

Then find the authpgsqlrc file and set the indicated settings as follows:

<<<<<<<<<
PGSQL_HOST		127.0.0.1
PGSQL_USERNAME		**DBUSER**
PGSQL_PASSWORD		**DBPASSWORD**
PGSQL_DATABASE		**NOOSFERO_DB**
PGSQL_USER_TABLE	mail_users
PGSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD	passwd
PGSQL_UID_FIELD		uid
PGSQL_GID_FIELD		gid
PGSQL_LOGIN_FIELD	username
PGSQL_HOME_FIELD	home
PGSQL_NAME_FIELD	fullname
PGSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD	maildir
>>>>>>>>

Restart courier-authdaemon:

	invoke-rc.d courier-authdaemon restart


Configure Postfix do deliver the mail in the right place
--------------------------------------------------------

Create a directory called "postgres" in /etc/postfix, and copy (or symlink) the
files *.cf in this directory there.

Then in main Postfix configuration file, add the following lines to the end of the file:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:pgsql:/etc/postfix/postgres/virtual_domains.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:pgsql:/etc/postfix/postgres/virtual_mailboxes.cf
virtual_alias_maps = proxy:pgsql:/etc/postfix/postgres/virtual_aliases.cf
virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail
virtual_uid_maps = static:5000
virtual_gid_maps = static:5000

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes

smtpd_require_helo = yes

smptd_client_restrictions =
	permit_mynetworks,
	permit_sasl_authenticated,
	reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org,
	reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
	permit_mynetworks,
	permit_sasl_authenticated,
	reject_unauth_pipelining,
	reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
	reject_non_fqdn_hostname,
	reject_invalid_hostname,
	reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
	reject_unauth_destination,

smptd_sender_restrictions =
	reject_non_fqdn_sender
	reject_unknown_sender_domain
	reject_sender_login_mismatch


# TODO SSL/TLS
virtual_create_maildirsize = yes
virtual_mailbox_extended = yes
# TODO limits (quota)

proxy_read_maps = $virtual_mailbox_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_alias_maps proxy:unix:passwd.byname
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Don't restart postfix yet, wait for the next step.

Configuring PAM-PostgreSQL for Postfix (SMTP) authentication through SASL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

copy the file pam_pgsql.conf over /etc/pam_pgsql.conf and adjust the parameters
database, user and password accordingly to your configuration.

Then edit /etc/default/saslauthd and change the line that defines "MECHANISMS" to read like this:

MECHANISMS="pam"

Also change START=no to START=yes at the begining of the file

Also modify the options as explained in the comment just above it. (see
/usr/share/doc/sasl2-bin/README.Debian) for the proper setup for postfix. In a
nutshell, the line with OPTIONS must read like the following

OPTIONS="-r -c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"

and you must set /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd with


  dpkg-statoverride --add root sasl 710 /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
  adduser postfix sasl


Then create /etc/pam.d/pgsql with:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
auth    required        pam_pgsql.so
account required        pam_pgsql.so
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Create /etc/pam.d/smtp with:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
@include pgsql
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

And /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf with:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Restart saslauthd:

	invoke-rc.d saslauthd restart

Restart postfix:

	invoke-rc.d postfix restart


Configure Horde platform and IMP webmail
----------------------------------------

Create a virtual host in file e.g. /etc/apache2/sites-available/mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

  ServerAdmin YOU@YOURDOMAIN.COM

  ServerName mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM

  DocumentRoot /usr/share/horde3/
  
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride Limit
  


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Then enable the VirtualHost and reload apache:

	a2ensite mail.zen3.net
	invoke-rc.d apache2 reload

Now fix the default conf.php in /etc/horde/horde3 removing the backslashes in
the last line, remove the first 2 commands to enable the web configuration and
point your web browser to http://mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM/

Lets's first create a database for horde in PostgreSQL.

	su - potsgres
	createuser -P horde
	createdb -O horde horde
	psql -h localhost -U horde horde < /usr/share/doc/horde3/examples/scripts/sql/create.pgsql.sql

Take note of the password you enter for the horde user in the second command.
It will be referred below as **HORDEPASS**

You can ignore the two error messages in the begining, it is trying to create a
database and a user. Since we already created both with the proper settings,
than nothing more is needed.

In the left bar, open the item "Administration", then choose "Setup". Now in
each of the tabs set the following basic options:

	General

		What path should we set cookies to?
		=> /

	Database

		What database backend should we use?
		=> PostgreSQL

		Database server/host
		=> localhost

		Username to connect to the database as
		=> horde

		Password to connect with
		=> **HORDEPASS**

		How should we connect to the database?
		=> TCP/IP

		Database name to use
		=> horde

	Preference System

		What preferences driver should we use?
		=> SQL Database

		Driver Configuration
		=> Horde defaults

Click Generate Horde configuration. Horde will not be able to write the configutation to the disk and will show you the configuration file contents. Copy and paste it into /etc/horde/horde3/conf.php

Now configure IMP: edit /et/horde/imp4/servers.php and change the first server listed as follows:

$servers['imap'] = array(
    'name' => 'YOURDOMAIN.COM',
    'server' => 'localhost',
    'hordeauth' => false,
    'protocol' => 'imap/notls',
    'port' => 143,
    'maildomain' => 'YOURDOMAIN.COM',
    'smtphost' => 'localhost',
    'smtpport' => 25,
    'realm' => '',
    'preferred' => '',
);

You can remove (or comment) all the other server snippets below the first.

Then go back to the browser, choose "Administration", "Setup", then "imp". You can look for setting to change, but for now we'll leave the default values. Just click in "Generate Mail COnfiguration" button and copy/paste the generated configuration in /etc/horde/imp4/conf.php (just as you did before for horde3).

Now go back to horde setup and, in the tab "Authentication", change the followinf:

	Which users should be treated as administrators
	=> YOU@YOURDOMAIN.COM (i.e.. your noosfero/e-mail account)

	What backend should we use for authenticating users to Horde?
	=> Let a Horde application handle authentication

	The application which is providing authentication
	=> imp

Click "Generate Horde Configuration", and as before, copy/paste the generated configuration into /etc/horde/horde3/conf.php.

Now we realized that you could have configure IMP before Horde, and do the
horde configuration all in one pass.
