# Installing and configuring [chasquid](https://blitiri.com.ar/p/chasquid)
## Installation
### Debian/Ubuntu
If you're using [Debian](https://packages.debian.org/chasquid) or
[Ubuntu](https://packages.ubuntu.com/chasquid), chasquid can be installed by
running:
```shell
sudo apt install chasquid
```
### Arch
If you're using Arch, there is a
[chasquid AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chasquid/) you can
use. See the [official Arch
documentation](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository) for
how to install it. If you use the [pacaur](https://github.com/E5ten/pacaur)
[helper](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers), you can just run:
```shell
pacaur -S chasquid
```
[Binary packages](https://maddy.email/archlinux/README.txt) are also available,
courtesy of [foxcpp](https://github.com/foxcpp/).
### From source
To get, build and install from source, you will need a working
[Go](http://golang.org) environment.
```shell
# Get the code and build the binaries.
git clone https://blitiri.com.ar/repos/chasquid
cd chasquid
make
# Install the binaries to /usr/local/bin.
sudo make install-binaries
# Copy the example configuration to /etc/chasquid and /etc/systemd, and create
# the /var/lib/chasquid directory.
sudo make install-config-skeleton
```
## Configuration
The configuration is in `/etc/chasquid/` by default, and has the following
structure:
```
- chasquid.conf Main config file.
- domains/ Domains' data.
- example.com/
- users User and password database for the domain.
- aliases Aliases for the domain.
...
- certs/ Certificates to use, one dir per pair.
- mx.example.com/
- fullchain.pem Certificate (full chain).
- privkey.pem Private key.
...
```
### Certificates
The certs/ directory layout matches the one from
[certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/),
[letsencrypt](https://letsencrypt.org)'s
default client, to make it easier to integrate.
A convenient way to set this up is:
1) Obtain TLS certificates using `certbot` as needed.
2) Symlink chasquid's `certs/` to `/etc/letsencrypt/live`:\
`sudo ln -s /etc/letsencrypt/live/ /etc/chasquid/certs`
3) Give chasquid permissions to read the certificates:\
`sudo setfacl -R -m u:chasquid:rX /etc/letsencrypt/{live,archive}`
4) Set up [automatic renewal] to restart chasquid when certificates are
renewed.
Please see the [how-to guide](howto.md#tls-certificate) for more detailed
examples.

### Adding users
You can add users with:
```
chasquid-util user-add user@domain
```
This will also create the corresponding domain directory if it doesn't exist.
### Checking your configuration
Run `chasquid-util print-config` to parse your configuration and display the
resulting values.
### Checking your setup
Run `smtp-check yourdomain.com`, it will check:
* MX DNS records.
* SPF DNS records (will just warn if not present).
* TLS certificates.
It needs to access port 25, which is often blocked by ISPs, so it's likely
that you need to run it from your server.
### Greylisting, anti-spam and anti-virus
chasquid supports running a post-DATA hook, which can be used to perform
greylisting, and run anti-spam and anti-virus filters.
The hook should be at `/etc/chasquid/hooks/post-data`.
The one installed by default is a bash script supporting:
* greylisting using greylistd.
* anti-spam using spamassassin or rspamd.
* anti-virus using clamav.
To use them, they just need to be available in your system.
For example, in Debian you can run the following to install all three:
```
apt install greylistd spamc clamdscan
usermod -a -G greylist mail
```
Note that the default hook may not work in all cases, it is provided as a
practical example but you should adjust it to your particular system if
needed.
