Has anyone managed to set up a SMTP server?

Has anyone managed to set up a SMTP server?

Hello Guix,

I am trying to set up a mail server. I had already "done" this on
debian, where I could just set up a couple of configuration options and
it would generate the HUGE template configuration file, and then
compile it down to a still huge but unreadable configuration file
through update-exim4.conf.

Now, I cannot help but notice that no such thing exists on guix. So I
have to actually configure everything from scratch, and the task is
quite heavy. Has anyone already done that?

Anyways, is it easier to do with opensmtpd?

Best regards,

divoplade

Hi,

Here's my server's configuration. It's divided in multiple modules, so it might not be easy to read, but here's the mail-related configuration:

https://framagit.org/tyreunom/system-configuration/-/blob/master/modules/config/mail.scm

HTH!

Thank you, it will, surely. From all configuration modules, I see that
you have a very full-featured server. I have a similar goal for mine
(except it will also replace framagit, which is slowly closing down,
unfortunately. I believe I can substitute cuirass for gitlab-ci,
provided it runs on my server).
