Alberto Bertogli d348477841 docs: Integrate with readthedocs.org
This patch adds configuration to integrate with readthedocs.org, using
mkdocs as rendering engine.

It also does minor documentation updates, to tidy some things up
(clearer titles, move some documentation from the root into docs/, etc).

# Installing and configuring [chasquid](https://blitiri.com.ar/p/chasquid)
## Installation
If you're using Debian or Ubuntu, chasquid can be installed by running
`sudo apt install chasquid`.
To get, build and install the source, you will need a working
[Go](http://golang.org) environment.
```shell
# Get the code and build the binaries.
go get blitiri.com.ar/go/chasquid
cd "$GOPATH/src/blitiri.com.ar/go/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.
* 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.
