Alberto Bertogli 7914590cfa docs: Update and extend links to distribution packages
This patch updates and extends the links to the distribution packages,
referencing them from the README (it's more likely to be what the reader
wants to see), and also extending the Arch packaging with binary package
information.

# 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://foxcpp.dev/archlinux/README.txt) are also available,
courtesy of 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.
...
```
Note the certs/ directory layout matches the one from certbot,
[letsencrypt](https://letsencrypt.org)'s
default client, so you can just symlink `certs/` to `/etc/letsencrypt/live`.
Make sure the user you use to run chasquid under ("mail" in the example
config) can access the certificates and private keys.
### 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.
