	This will make network configuration and host based authentication more robust, across different deployment platforms. The options `RELAYNETS` and`POD_ADDRESS_RANGE` are kept for compatibility. However, their usage have become optional.

Mailu configuration settings
 | 
						|
============================

 | 
						|
Common configuration
 | 
						|
--------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``SECRET_KEY`` **must** be changed for every setup and set to a 16 bytes
 | 
						|
randomly generated value. It is intended to secure authentication cookies
 | 
						|
among other critical uses. This can be generated with a utility such as *pwgen*,
 | 
						|
which can be installed on most Linux systems:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  apt-get install pwgen
 | 
						|
  pwgen 16 1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``DOMAIN`` holds the main e-mail domain for the server. This email domain
 | 
						|
is used for bounce emails, for generating the postmaster email and other
 | 
						|
technical addresses.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``HOSTNAMES`` are all public hostnames for the mail server. Mailu supports
 | 
						|
a mail server with multiple hostnames. The first declared hostname is the main
 | 
						|
hostname and will be exposed over SMTP, IMAP, etc.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``SUBNET`` defines the address range of the docker network used by Mailu.
 | 
						|
This should not conflict with any networks to which your system is connected.
 | 
						|
(Internal and external!). Normally this does not need to be changed,
 | 
						|
unless there is a conflict with existing networks.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``POSTMASTER`` is the local part of the postmaster email address. It is
 | 
						|
recommended to setup a generic value and later configure a mail alias for that
 | 
						|
address.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``AUTH_RATELIMIT`` holds a security setting for fighting attackers that
 | 
						|
try to guess user passwords. The value is the limit of requests that a single
 | 
						|
IP address can perform against IMAP, POP and SMTP authentication endpoints.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Mail settings
 | 
						|
-------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT`` is the maximum size of a single email. It should not
 | 
						|
be too low to avoid dropping legitimate emails and should not be too high to
 | 
						|
avoid filling the disks with large junk emails.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``RELAYNETS`` are network addresses for which mail is relayed for free with
 | 
						|
no authentication required. This should be used with great care. If you want other
 | 
						|
Docker services' outbound mail to be relayed, you can set this to ``172.16.0.0/12``
 | 
						|
to include **all** Docker networks. The default is to leave this empty.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``RELAYHOST`` is an optional address of a mail server relaying all outgoing
 | 
						|
mail.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``FETCHMAIL_DELAY`` is a delay (in seconds) for the fetchmail service to
 | 
						|
go and fetch new email if available. Do not use too short delays if you do not
 | 
						|
want to be blacklisted by external services, but not too long delays if you
 | 
						|
want to receive your email in time.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``RECIPIENT_DELIMITED`` is a character used to delimit localpart from a
 | 
						|
custom address part. For instance, if set to ``+``, users can use addresses
 | 
						|
like ``localpart+custom@domain.tld`` to deliver mail to ``localpart@domain.tld``.
 | 
						|
This is useful to provide external parties with different email addresses and
 | 
						|
later classify incoming mail based on the custom part.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``DMARC_RUA`` and ``DMARC_RUF`` are DMARC protocol specific values. They hold
 | 
						|
the localpart for DMARC rua and ruf email addresses.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Web settings
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``WEB_ADMIN`` contains the path to the main admin interface, while
 | 
						|
``WEB_WEBMAIL`` contains the path to the Web email client.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Both ``SITENAME`` and ``WEBSITE`` are customization options for the panel menu
 | 
						|
in the admin interface, while ``SITENAME`` is a customization option for
 | 
						|
every Web interface.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Advanced settings
 | 
						|
-----------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ``PASSWORD_SCHEME`` is the password encryption scheme. You should use the
 | 
						|
default value, unless you are importing password from a separate system and
 | 
						|
want to keep using the old password encryption scheme.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Infrastructure settings
 | 
						|
-----------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Various environment variables ``HOST_*`` can be used to run Mailu containers
 | 
						|
separately from a supported orchestrator. It is used by the various components
 | 
						|
to find the location of the other containers it depends on. They can contain an
 | 
						|
optional port number. Those variables are:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_IMAP``: the container that is running the IMAP server (default: ``imap``, port 143)
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_LMTP``: the container that is running the LMTP server (default: ``imap:2525``)
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_HOSTIMAP``: the container that is running the IMAP server for the webmail (default: ``imap``, port 10143)
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_POP3``: the container that is running the POP3 server (default: ``imap``, port 110)
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_SMTP``: the container that is running the SMTP server (default: ``smtp``, port 25)
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_AUTHSMTP``: the container that is running the authenticated SMTP server for the webnmail (default: ``smtp``, port 10025)
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_ADMIN``: the container that is running the admin interface (default: ``admin``)
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_ANTISPAM``: the container that is running the antispam service (default: ``antispam:11334``)
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_WEBMAIL``: the container that is running the webmail (default: ``webmail``)
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_WEBDAV``: the container that is running the webdav server (default: ``webdav:5232``)
 | 
						|
- ``HOST_REDIS``: the container that is running the redis daemon (default: ``redis``)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Additional variables are used to locate other containers without dialing a
 | 
						|
specific port number. It is used to either whitelist connection from these
 | 
						|
addresses or connect to containers on the docker network:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- ``FRONT_ADDRESS``: the nginx container address (default: ``front``)
 | 
						|
- ``WEBMAIL_ADDRESS``: the webmail container address (default: ``webmail``)
 | 
						|
- ``IMAP_ADDRESS``: the webmail container address (default: ``webmail``)
