Notes

Check the reputation of your VPS IP before proceeding.
Follow the official documentation to set up the domain.
Read about each environment variable of simplelogin and postfix.
Using SWAG to generate certs and then mounting the certs to postfix.
SWAG has the following post-renewal hook under ./swag/etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/post/postfix.sh:
```
#!/usr/bin/with-contenv bash

touch /config/etc/letsencrypt/postfix_renew
```

Postfix has the following script mounted to /etc/periodic/hourly/renew-postfix-tls for reloading on cert updates:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

if [ -f ${RENEW_PATH} ]; then
    /src/generate_config.py --postfix
    postfix reload
    rm -f ${RENEW_PATH}
fi

Setting up Crowdsec, Geoblock, and Firehol is highly recommended.
Check the dmarc once you finish setting everything up.
Check the spammyness once you finish setting everything up.

Self Test

Create test aliases for each domain and disable them so you won't get emails. Add the following to your host's cron, edit the TARGETS and curl command accordingly.

#!/bin/bash

TARGETS=("[email protected]" "[email protected]" "[email protected]")

for TARGET in "${TARGETS[@]}"; do
    docker exec postfix sendmail $TARGET
    sleep 10
    result=$(docker exec sldb psql -U sl_user simplelogin -AXqtc "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM email_log JOIN alias ON email_log.alias_id = alias.id WHERE alias.email = '$TARGET' AND email_log.created_at BETWEEN NOW() - INTERVAL '5 MINUTES' AND NOW();")
    if [[ "$result" -lt 1 ]]; then
        curl -d "Email test failed for $TARGET" "https://ntfy.domain1.com/topic"
    fi
done
