Hey #BSD friends!
Is there a way to set up oauth2 on Dovecot for authentication? (All local Auth, no Google or Microsoft involved). Do I have to run some big chunky java blob like keycloak or is there a much lighter weight implementation in C somewhere?
#OpenBSD 7.7 has been released (#BSD / #NetBSD / #386BSD / #Unix / #LibreSSL / #OpenSSH / #OpenBGPD / #OpenSMTPD / #OpenNTPD / #OpenIKED / #rpkiClient / #mandoc) https://openbsd.org/

Désolé Sylvie, #OpenSMTPd et #Dovecot ne fonctionnent pas comme ça. Les paroles disparaissent, les écrits restent.
The SSD in my mailserver has 19,782 power on hours (which is 825 days, little over two years) with 'just' 13 powercycles. And let me tell you, those 13 powercycles are solely because I rebooted the system (upgrade, maintenance).
That is how rock-stable #OpenBSD and #OpenSMTPD are.
Oh, the #nostalgia of procmail! 
But fret not, #OpenSMTPD and #Maildrop are here to rock your inbox with their synchronized dance moves you won't care about. Because, clearly, getting modern tools to work together is rocket science.

OpenSMTPD and Maildrop working in concert

Well, after a lot of swearing… I *think* I have a Raspberry Pi 400 running #AlpineLinux … tethered to my 4G phone hotspot … acting as a crude WiFi router/bridge for my border router running #OpenBSD which is tunnelling to my OpenBSD VPS at Binary Lane.
Over that tunnel, I now have #Postfix on the home mail server, relaying over the VPN to #OpenSMTPD on the VPS.
Should be useful the day I have to leave Internode… but for now, it's bypassing the rather dead NBN service (thank-you #CycloneAlfred).
I've released an SPF filter for OpenSMTPD: https://netsend.nl/opensmtpd-filter-spf/
I had to modify my FreeBSD - OpenSMTPD blog post because of this: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/opensmtpd-7-6-0-wont-start-after-upgrade-freebsd-14-2.96410/
Upgrading one of my servers led to a broken setup.
Be careful!

6 coopunes.pro@neil until last week I hosted my family's personnal mailbox on my own mail infrastructure (in a single OVH instance, not on my home connection because I wanted maximum uptime) with #opensmtpd, #dovecot and #rspamd on Alpine Linux, and for deliverability I had to relay through #smtp2go, a professional external relay (too much hassle with IP reputation). I switched to Infomaniak for my personnal mailboxes for 5 reasons:
* I was so stressed to break something each time I upgraded the whole thing.
* I didn't want to take responsibility in case it went down.
* Spam management is not easy, and the mechanisms to make rspamd learn whether ham/spam whenever you move a message in or out the spambox was duct-taped and not satisfying.
* IMO the fact that I was relaying everything through a proprietary SMTP relay was defying the whole point of selfhosting your mail infrastructure.
* Infomaniak price is cheaper than the VPS infrastructure with extra volume space for mailboxes.
However, as I self-host a lot services (this time directly at home) which generate some email notifications, I setup a SMTP service on-prem to handle that, with a dedicated DKIM selector. It work quite good for now.
Just had a huge fight with #OpenSMTPD about lmtp rcpt-to not expanding my aliases. I had to remove the rcpt-to but we made up and we’re in love again.
This could potentially be a bug. I don’t understand enough about mail to affirm that it’s a bug though.

Are you running #opensmtpd and got a little bit of time to test? Let's get this thing known to more #sysadmin and help them secure their #Linux systems

earlier today I cut a release for (almost) all the #OpenSMTPD tables since some files were missing in the distribution tarballs.
If you encountered issues building them before from the provided tarball, please try again 
Finished migrating the last service to my us-east openbsd hetzner vps from the previous finland freebsd vps (for much better latency). All that's left is setting up spamd. I previously used rspamd, but I wanted to try using what was already in base.
