How to Test
You can test the setup via nixops
. After installation, do
nixops create nixops/single-server.nix nixops/vbox.nix -d mail
nixops deploy -d mail
nixops info -d mail
You can then test the server via e.g. telnet
. To log into it, use
nixops ssh -d mail mailserver
To test imap manually openssl s_client -host mail.example.com -port 143 -starttls imap
