You can't share your backups with someone else / someone else can't usefully use your backups to bootstrap their own mail solution.

So, I have a very similar problem (I use qmail instead of postfix) and when I upgrade the server, I make a backup of my config files. I then install the software and restore the config files (including certificates). Poof--mail server up and running. What am I missing in your message? Mark
hosting emails at home
Hello everyone, I have been using Postfix and Dovecot on Debian (Since potato) for my personal emails for years. After being tired of reinstalling my personal mail server many times, I am currently writing some Ansible scripts to do it automatically. I obviously checked the other projects, and did not found anything close to what I am looking for, so I am implementing it now. The final goal is to have a box that once online, would setup itself, by creating the certificates, the DKIM keys and update the appropriate DNS records. This is so far what I have achieved: - Automatic generation of certificates using LetsEncrypt - Automatic update of the domain entries: imap, smtp, webmail, etc. - Automatic generation of a DKIM keys - Automatic update of specific records (MX, SPF, DKIM, etc.) - LDAP server for user accounts, with or without system login. - Installation of Postfix, Dovecot and Roundcube Sending DKIM signed emails is working, and the IMAP server is configured as well, although basic. The postfix and dovecot configuration are not yet entirely finished. I am planing to add an anti spam system, and sieve, amongst other things. Although in development during my spare time, the system is normally robust and you should be able to run it multiple times without errors. If anyone is interested to use it, to have a look, or to take part, it is here: https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox Kind regards, André Rodier.
