makes it easier to run on bsd's, where you cannot (easily?) let non-root users bind to ports <1024. starting as root also paves the way for future improvements with privilege separation. unfortunately, this requires changes to how you start mox. though mox will help by automatically fix up dir/file permissions/ownership. if you start mox from the systemd unit file, you should update it so it starts as root and adds a few additional capabilities: # first update the mox binary, then, as root: ./mox config printservice >mox.service systemctl daemon-reload systemctl restart mox journalctl -f -u mox & # you should see mox start up, with messages about fixing permissions on dirs/files. if you used the recommended config/ and data/ directory, in a directory just for mox, and with the mox user called "mox", this should be enough. if you don't want mox to modify dir/file permissions, set "NoFixPermissions: true" in mox.conf. if you named the mox user something else than mox, e.g. "_mox", add "User: _mox" to mox.conf. if you created a shared service user as originally suggested, you may want to get rid of that as it is no longer useful and may get in the way. e.g. if you had /home/service/mox with a "service" user, that service user can no longer access any files: only mox and root can. this also adds scripts for building mox docker images for alpine-supported platforms. the "restart" subcommand has been removed. it wasn't all that useful and got in the way. and another change: when adding a domain while mtasts isn't enabled, don't add the per-domain mtasts config, as it would cause failure to add the domain. based on report from setting up mox on openbsd from mteege. and based on issue #3. thanks for the feedback!

Many commands talk to a running mox instance, through the ctl file in the data
|
|
directory. Specify the configuration file (that holds the path to the data
|
|
directory) through the -config flag or MOXCONF environment variable.
|
|
|
|
# mox serve
|
|
|
|
Start mox, serving SMTP/IMAP/HTTPS.
|
|
|
|
Incoming email is accepted over SMTP. Email can be retrieved by users using
|
|
IMAP. HTTP listeners are started for the admin/account web interfaces, and for
|
|
automated TLS configuration. Missing essential TLS certificates are immediately
|
|
requested, other TLS certificates are requested on demand.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox serve
|
|
|
|
# mox quickstart
|
|
|
|
Quickstart generates configuration files and prints instructions to quickly set up a mox instance.
|
|
|
|
Quickstart writes configuration files, prints initial admin and account
|
|
passwords, DNS records you should create. If you run it on Linux it writes a
|
|
systemd service file and prints commands to enable and start mox as service.
|
|
|
|
The user or uid is optional, defaults to "mox", and is the user or uid/gid mox
|
|
will run as after initialization.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox quickstart user@domain [user | uid]
|
|
|
|
# mox stop
|
|
|
|
Shut mox down, giving connections maximum 3 seconds to stop before closing them.
|
|
|
|
While shutting down, new IMAP and SMTP connections will get a status response
|
|
indicating temporary unavailability. Existing connections will get a 3 second
|
|
period to finish their transaction and shut down. Under normal circumstances,
|
|
only IMAP has long-living connections, with the IDLE command to get notified of
|
|
new mail deliveries.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox stop
|
|
|
|
# mox setaccountpassword
|
|
|
|
Set new password an account.
|
|
|
|
The password is read from stdin. Secrets derived from the password, but not the
|
|
password itself, are stored in the account database. The stored secrets are for
|
|
authentication with: scram-sha-256, scram-sha-1, cram-md5, plain text (bcrypt
|
|
hash).
|
|
|
|
Any email address configured for the account can be used.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox setaccountpassword address
|
|
|
|
# mox setadminpassword
|
|
|
|
Set a new admin password, for the web interface.
|
|
|
|
The password is read from stdin. Its bcrypt hash is stored in a file named
|
|
"adminpasswd" in the configuration directory.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox setadminpassword
|
|
|
|
# mox loglevels
|
|
|
|
Print the log levels, or set a new default log level, or a level for the given package.
|
|
|
|
By default, a single log level applies to all logging in mox. But for each
|
|
"pkg", an overriding log level can be configured. Examples of packages:
|
|
smtpserver, smtpclient, queue, imapserver, spf, dkim, dmarc, junk, message,
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
Specify a pkg and an empty level to clear the configured level for a package.
|
|
|
|
Valid labels: error, info, debug, trace, traceauth, tracedata.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox loglevels [level [pkg]]
|
|
|
|
# mox queue list
|
|
|
|
List messages in the delivery queue.
|
|
|
|
This prints the message with its ID, last and next delivery attempts, last
|
|
error.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox queue list
|
|
|
|
# mox queue kick
|
|
|
|
Schedule matching messages in the queue for immediate delivery.
|
|
|
|
Messages deliveries are normally attempted with exponential backoff. The first
|
|
retry after 7.5 minutes, and doubling each time. Kicking messages sets their
|
|
next scheduled attempt to now, it can cause delivery to fail earlier than
|
|
without rescheduling.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox queue kick [-id id] [-todomain domain] [-recipient address]
|
|
-id int
|
|
id of message in queue
|
|
-recipient string
|
|
recipient email address
|
|
-todomain string
|
|
destination domain of messages
|
|
|
|
# mox queue drop
|
|
|
|
Remove matching messages from the queue.
|
|
|
|
Dangerous operation, this completely removes the message. If you want to store
|
|
the message, use "queue dump" before removing.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox queue drop [-id id] [-todomain domain] [-recipient address]
|
|
-id int
|
|
id of message in queue
|
|
-recipient string
|
|
recipient email address
|
|
-todomain string
|
|
destination domain of messages
|
|
|
|
# mox queue dump
|
|
|
|
Dump a message from the queue.
|
|
|
|
The message is printed to stdout and is in standard internet mail format.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox queue dump id
|
|
|
|
# mox import maildir
|
|
|
|
Import a maildir into an account.
|
|
|
|
By default, messages will train the junk filter based on their flags and, if
|
|
"automatic junk flags" configuration is set, based on mailbox naming.
|
|
|
|
If the destination mailbox is "Sent", the recipients of the messages are added
|
|
to the message metadata, causing later incoming messages from these recipients
|
|
to be accepted, unless other reputation signals prevent that.
|
|
|
|
Users can also import mailboxes/messages through the account web page by
|
|
uploading a zip or tgz file with mbox and/or maildirs.
|
|
|
|
Mailbox flags, like "seen", "answered", will be imported. An optional
|
|
dovecot-keywords file can specify additional flags, like Forwarded/Junk/NotJunk.
|
|
|
|
The maildir files/directories are read by the mox process, so make sure it has
|
|
access to the maildir directories/files.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox import maildir accountname mailboxname maildir
|
|
|
|
# mox import mbox
|
|
|
|
Import an mbox into an account.
|
|
|
|
Using mbox is not recommended, maildir is a better defined format.
|
|
|
|
By default, messages will train the junk filter based on their flags and, if
|
|
"automatic junk flags" configuration is set, based on mailbox naming.
|
|
|
|
If the destination mailbox is "Sent", the recipients of the messages are added
|
|
to the message metadata, causing later incoming messages from these recipients
|
|
to be accepted, unless other reputation signals prevent that.
|
|
|
|
Users can also import mailboxes/messages through the account web page by
|
|
uploading a zip or tgz file with mbox and/or maildirs.
|
|
|
|
The mailbox is read by the mox process, so make sure it has access to the
|
|
maildir directories/files.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox import mbox accountname mailboxname mbox
|
|
|
|
# mox export maildir
|
|
|
|
Export one or all mailboxes from an account in maildir format.
|
|
|
|
Export bypasses a running mox instance. It opens the account mailbox/message
|
|
database file directly. This may block if a running mox instance also has the
|
|
database open, e.g. for IMAP connections. To export from a running instance, use
|
|
the accounts web page.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox export maildir dst-dir account-path [mailbox]
|
|
|
|
# mox export mbox
|
|
|
|
Export messages from one or all mailboxes in an account in mbox format.
|
|
|
|
Using mbox is not recommended. Maildir is a better format.
|
|
|
|
Export bypasses a running mox instance. It opens the account mailbox/message
|
|
database file directly. This may block if a running mox instance also has the
|
|
database open, e.g. for IMAP connections. To export from a running instance, use
|
|
the accounts web page.
|
|
|
|
For mbox export, "mboxrd" is used where message lines starting with the magic
|
|
"From " string are escaped by prepending a >. All ">*From " are escaped,
|
|
otherwise reconstructing the original could lose a ">".
|
|
|
|
usage: mox export mbox dst-dir account-path [mailbox]
|
|
|
|
# mox help
|
|
|
|
Prints help about matching commands.
|
|
|
|
If multiple commands match, they are listed along with the first line of their help text.
|
|
If a single command matches, its usage and full help text is printed.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox help [command ...]
|
|
|
|
# mox config test
|
|
|
|
Parses and validates the configuration files.
|
|
|
|
If valid, the command exits with status 0. If not valid, all errors encountered
|
|
are printed.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config test
|
|
|
|
# mox config dnscheck
|
|
|
|
Check the DNS records with the configuration for the domain, and print any errors/warnings.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config dnscheck domain
|
|
|
|
# mox config dnsrecords
|
|
|
|
Prints annotated DNS records as zone file that should be created for the domain.
|
|
|
|
The zone file can be imported into existing DNS software. You should review the
|
|
DNS records, especially if your domain previously/currently has email
|
|
configured.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config dnsrecords domain
|
|
|
|
# mox config describe-domains
|
|
|
|
Prints an annotated empty configuration for use as domains.conf.
|
|
|
|
The domains configuration file contains the domains and their configuration,
|
|
and accounts and their configuration. This includes the configured email
|
|
addresses. The mox admin web interface, and the mox command line interface, can
|
|
make changes to this file. Mox automatically reloads this file when it changes.
|
|
|
|
Like the static configuration, the example domains.conf printed by this command
|
|
needs modifications to make it valid.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config describe-domains >domains.conf
|
|
|
|
# mox config describe-static
|
|
|
|
Prints an annotated empty configuration for use as mox.conf.
|
|
|
|
The static configuration file cannot be reloaded while mox is running. Mox has
|
|
to be restarted for changes to the static configuration file to take effect.
|
|
|
|
This configuration file needs modifications to make it valid. For example, it
|
|
may contain unfinished list items.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config describe-static >mox.conf
|
|
|
|
# mox config account add
|
|
|
|
Add an account with an email address and reload the configuration.
|
|
|
|
Email can be delivered to this address/account. A password has to be configured
|
|
explicitly, see the setaccountpassword command.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config account add account address
|
|
|
|
# mox config account rm
|
|
|
|
Remove an account and reload the configuration.
|
|
|
|
Email addresses for this account will also be removed, and incoming email for
|
|
these addresses will be rejected.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config account rm account
|
|
|
|
# mox config address add
|
|
|
|
Adds an address to an account and reloads the configuration.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config address add address account
|
|
|
|
# mox config address rm
|
|
|
|
Remove an address and reload the configuration.
|
|
|
|
Incoming email for this address will be rejected.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config address rm address
|
|
|
|
# mox config domain add
|
|
|
|
Adds a new domain to the configuration and reloads the configuration.
|
|
|
|
The account is used for the postmaster mailboxes the domain, including as DMARC and
|
|
TLS reporting. Localpart is the "username" at the domain for this account. If
|
|
must be set if and only if account does not yet exist.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config domain add domain account [localpart]
|
|
|
|
# mox config domain rm
|
|
|
|
Remove a domain from the configuration and reload the configuration.
|
|
|
|
This is a dangerous operation. Incoming email delivery for this domain will be
|
|
rejected.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config domain rm domain
|
|
|
|
# mox config describe-sendmail
|
|
|
|
Describe configuration for mox when invoked as sendmail.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config describe-sendmail >/etc/moxsubmit.conf
|
|
|
|
# mox config printservice
|
|
|
|
Prints a systemd unit service file for mox.
|
|
|
|
This is the same file as generated using quickstart. If the systemd service file
|
|
has changed with a newer version of mox, use this command to generate an up to
|
|
date version.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox config printservice >mox.service
|
|
|
|
# mox checkupdate
|
|
|
|
Check if a newer version of mox is available.
|
|
|
|
A single DNS TXT lookup to _updates.xmox.nl tells if a new version is
|
|
available. If so, a changelog is fetched from https://updates.xmox.nl, and the
|
|
individual entries validated with a builtin public key. The changelog is
|
|
printed.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox checkupdate
|
|
|
|
# mox cid
|
|
|
|
Turn an ID from a Received header into a cid, for looking up in logs.
|
|
|
|
A cid is essentially a connection counter initialized when mox starts. Each log
|
|
line contains a cid. Received headers added by mox contain a unique ID that can
|
|
be decrypted to a cid by admin of a mox instance only.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox cid cid
|
|
|
|
# mox clientconfig
|
|
|
|
Print the configuration for email clients for a domain.
|
|
|
|
Sending email is typically not done on the SMTP port 25, but on submission
|
|
ports 465 (with TLS) and 587 (without initial TLS, but usually added to the
|
|
connection with STARTTLS). For IMAP, the port with TLS is 993 and without is
|
|
143.
|
|
|
|
Without TLS/STARTTLS, passwords are sent in clear text, which should only be
|
|
configured over otherwise secured connections, like a VPN.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox clientconfig domain
|
|
|
|
# mox dkim gened25519
|
|
|
|
Generate a new ed25519 key for use with DKIM.
|
|
|
|
Ed25519 keys are much smaller than RSA keys of comparable cryptographic
|
|
strength. This is convenient because of maximum DNS message sizes. At the time
|
|
of writing, not many mail servers appear to support ed25519 DKIM keys though,
|
|
so it is recommended to sign messages with both RSA and ed25519 keys.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox dkim gened25519 >$selector._domainkey.$domain.ed25519key.pkcs8.pem
|
|
|
|
# mox dkim genrsa
|
|
|
|
Generate a new 2048 bit RSA private key for use with DKIM.
|
|
|
|
The generated file is in PEM format, and has a comment it is generated for use
|
|
with DKIM, by mox.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox dkim genrsa >$selector._domainkey.$domain.rsakey.pkcs8.pem
|
|
|
|
# mox dkim lookup
|
|
|
|
Lookup and print the DKIM record for the selector at the domain.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox dkim lookup selector domain
|
|
|
|
# mox dkim txt
|
|
|
|
Print a DKIM DNS TXT record with the public key derived from the private key read from stdin.
|
|
|
|
The DNS should be configured as a TXT record at $selector._domainkey.$domain.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox dkim txt <$selector._domainkey.$domain.key.pkcs8.pem
|
|
|
|
# mox dkim verify
|
|
|
|
Verify the DKIM signatures in a message and print the results.
|
|
|
|
The message is parsed, and the DKIM-Signature headers are validated. Validation
|
|
of older messages may fail because the DNS records have been removed or changed
|
|
by now, or because the signature header may have specified an expiration time
|
|
that was passed.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox dkim verify message
|
|
|
|
# mox dmarc lookup
|
|
|
|
Lookup dmarc policy for domain, a DNS TXT record at _dmarc.<domain>, validate and print it.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox dmarc lookup domain
|
|
|
|
# mox dmarc parsereportmsg
|
|
|
|
Parse a DMARC report from an email message, and print its extracted details.
|
|
|
|
DMARC reports are periodically mailed, if requested in the DMARC DNS record of
|
|
a domain. Reports are sent by mail servers that received messages with our
|
|
domain in a From header. This may or may not be legatimate email. DMARC reports
|
|
contain summaries of evaluations of DMARC and DKIM/SPF, which can help
|
|
understand email deliverability problems.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox dmarc parsereportmsg message ...
|
|
|
|
# mox dmarc verify
|
|
|
|
Parse an email message and evaluate it against the DMARC policy of the domain in the From-header.
|
|
|
|
mailfromaddress and helodomain are used for SPF validation. If both are empty,
|
|
SPF validation is skipped.
|
|
|
|
mailfromaddress should be the address used as MAIL FROM in the SMTP session.
|
|
For DSN messages, that address may be empty. The helo domain was specified at
|
|
the beginning of the SMTP transaction that delivered the message. These values
|
|
can be found in message headers.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox dmarc verify remoteip mailfromaddress helodomain < message
|
|
|
|
# mox dnsbl check
|
|
|
|
Test if IP is in the DNS blocklist of the zone, e.g. bl.spamcop.net.
|
|
|
|
If the IP is in the blocklist, an explanation is printed. This is typically a
|
|
URL with more information.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox dnsbl check zone ip
|
|
|
|
# mox dnsbl checkhealth
|
|
|
|
Check the health of the DNS blocklist represented by zone, e.g. bl.spamcop.net.
|
|
|
|
The health of a DNS blocklist can be checked by querying for 127.0.0.1 and
|
|
127.0.0.2. The second must and the first must not be present.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox dnsbl checkhealth zone
|
|
|
|
# mox mtasts lookup
|
|
|
|
Lookup the MTASTS record and policy for the domain.
|
|

MTA-STS is a mechanism for a domain to specify if it requires TLS connections
|
|
for delivering email. If a domain has a valid MTA-STS DNS TXT record at
|
|
_mta-sts.<domain> it signals it implements MTA-STS. A policy can then be
|
|
fetched at https://mta-sts.<domain>/.well-known/mta-sts.txt. The policy
|
|
specifies the mode (enforce, testing, none), which MX servers support TLS and
|
|
should be used, and how long the policy can be cached.

|
usage: mox mtasts lookup domain

# mox retrain
|
|
|
|
Recreate and retrain the junk filter for the account.
|
|
|
|
Useful after having made changes to the junk filter configuration, or if the
|
|
implementation has changed.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox retrain accountname

# mox sendmail
|
|
|
|
Sendmail is a drop-in replacement for /usr/sbin/sendmail to deliver emails sent by unix processes like cron.
|
|
|
|
If invoked as "sendmail", it will act as sendmail for sending messages. Its
|
|
intention is to let processes like cron send emails. Messages are submitted to
|
|
an actual mail server over SMTP. The destination mail server and credentials are
|
|
configured in /etc/moxsubmit.conf, see mox config describe-sendmail. The From
|
|
message header is rewritten to the configured address. When the addressee
|
|
appears to be a local user, because without @, the message is sent to the
|
|
configured default address.
|
|
|
|
If submitting an email fails, it is added to a directory moxsubmit.failures in
|
|
the user's home directory.
|
|
|
|
Most flags are ignored to fake compatibility with other sendmail
|
|
implementations. A single recipient is required, or the tflag.
|
|
|
|
/etc/moxsubmit.conf should be group-readable and not readable by others and this
|
|
binary should be setgid that group:
|
|
|
|
groupadd moxsubmit
|
|
install -m 2755 -o root -g moxsubmit mox /usr/sbin/sendmail
|
|
touch /etc/moxsubmit.conf
|
|
chown root:moxsubmit /etc/moxsubmit.conf
|
|
chmod 640 /etc/moxsubmit.conf
|
|
# edit /etc/moxsubmit.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
usage: mox sendmail [-Fname] [ignoredflags] [-t] [<message]
|

|
# mox spf check
|
|
|
|
Check the status of IP for the policy published in DNS for the domain.
|
|
|
|
IPs may be allowed to send for a domain, or disallowed, and several shades in
|
|
between. If not allowed, an explanation may be provided by the policy. If so,
|
|
the explanation is printed. The SPF mechanism that matched (if any) is also
|
|
printed.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox spf check domain ip
|
|
|
|
# mox spf lookup
|
|
|
|
Lookup the SPF record for the domain and print it.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox spf lookup domain
|
|
|
|
# mox spf parse
|
|
|
|
Parse the record as SPF record. If valid, nothing is printed.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox spf parse txtrecord
|
|
|
|
# mox tlsrpt lookup
|
|
|
|
Lookup the TLSRPT record for the domain.
|
|
|
|
A TLSRPT record typically contains an email address where reports about TLS
|
|
connectivity should be sent. Mail servers attempting delivery to our domain
|
|
should attempt to use TLS. TLSRPT lets them report how many connection
|
|
successfully used TLS, and how what kind of errors occurred otherwise.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox tlsrpt lookup domain
|
|
|
|
# mox tlsrpt parsereportmsg
|
|
|
|
Parse and print the TLSRPT in the message.
|
|
|
|
The report is printed in formatted JSON.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox tlsrpt parsereportmsg message ...
|
|
|
|
# mox version
|
|
|
|
Prints this mox version.
|
|
|
|
usage: mox version
