@ -39,33 +39,13 @@ Mox is available under the MIT-license and was created by Mechiel Lukkien,
mechiel@ueber.net. Mox includes BSD-3-claused code from the Go Authors, and the
Public Suffix List by Mozilla under Mozilla Public License, v2.0.
Mox has automated tests, including for interoperability with Postfix for SMTP.
Mox is manually tested with email clients: Mozilla Thunderbird, mutt, iOS Mail,
macOS Mail, Android Mail, Microsoft Outlook. Mox is also manually tested to
interoperate with popular cloud providers: gmail.com, outlook.com, yahoo.com,
proton.me.
# Download
You can easily (cross) compile mox if you have a recent Go toolchain installed
(see "go version", it must be >= 1.19; otherwise, see https://go.dev/dl/ or
https://go.dev/doc/manage-install and $HOME/go/bin):
GOBIN=$PWD CGO_ENABLED=0 go install github.com/mjl-/mox@latest
Or you can download a binary built with the latest Go toolchain from
https://beta.gobuilds.org/github.com/mjl-/mox@latest/linux-amd64-latest/, and
symlink or rename it to "mox".
Verify you have a working mox binary:
./mox version
Note: Mox only compiles for/works on unix systems, not on Plan 9 or Windows.
You can also run mox with docker image `r.xmox.nl/mox`, with tags like `v0.0.1`
and `v0.0.1-go1.20.1-alpine3.17.2`, see https://r.xmox.nl/r/mox/. Though new
docker images aren't (automatically) generated for new Go runtime/compile
releases. See docker-compose.yml in this repository for instructions on
starting. It is important to run with docker host networking, so mox can use
the public IPs and has correct remote IP information for incoming connections
(important for junk filtering and rate-limiting). Given these caveats, it's
recommended to run mox without docker.
The code is heavily cross-referenced with the RFCs for readability/maintainability.

could combine mox with an existing webserver, but it requires a lot more

the webserver built into mox. It's pretty good! If you want to run an existing
