Major milestone - shared PostgreSQL moved from NFS to CloudNativePG: - CNPG cluster (pg-cluster) running in dbaas namespace on local-path storage - PostGIS image (ghcr.io/cloudnative-pg/postgis:16) for dawarich compatibility - All 20 databases and 19 roles restored from pg_dumpall backup - postgresql.dbaas Service patched to point at CNPG primary - Old PG deployment scaled to 0 (NFS data intact for rollback) - All 12+ dependent services verified running: authentik, n8n, dawarich, tandoor, linkwarden, netbox, woodpecker, rybbit, affine, health, resume, trading-bot, atuin - Authentik PgBouncer working through the switched endpoint TODO: codify CNPG cluster in Terraform, add 2nd replica, update backup CronJob

# Mail Server Lightweight Hardening Design
|
|
|
|
**Date**: 2026-02-23
|
|
**Scope**: Security, reliability, and hygiene improvements to the docker-mailserver stack
|
|
|
|
## Current State
|
|
|
|
- docker-mailserver 15.0.0 on K8s (single replica, Recreate strategy)
|
|
- Roundcubemail webmail (MySQL-backed, debug logging on, unpinned :latest tag)
|
|
- Outbound relay via Mailgun, inbound MX via ForwardEmail
|
|
- OpenDKIM for DKIM signing, no spam filtering (SpamAssassin/ClamAV/Amavis disabled)
|
|
- DMARC policy `none` (monitoring only)
|
|
- No brute-force protection, no mailserver-down alert
|
|
- Dovecot exporter sidecar (unpinned), stale SendGrid DNS records
|
|
|
|
## Changes
|
|
|
|
### 1. Enable Rspamd (replace OpenDKIM as DKIM signer)
|
|
|
|
Add to `mailserver_env_config`:
|
|
- `ENABLE_RSPAMD = "1"` (spam filtering, DKIM verification, phishing detection, Oletools)
|
|
- `ENABLE_OPENDKIM = "0"` (Rspamd handles DKIM signing natively)
|
|
- `RSPAMD_LEARN = "1"` (learn from Junk folder movements)
|
|
|
|
Existing OpenDKIM key mounts stay — Rspamd reads them from the same paths.
|
|
Resource impact: ~150-200MB additional RAM.
|
|
|
|
### 2. DMARC DNS enforcement
|
|
|
|
Update `_dmarc` TXT record: `p=none` -> `p=quarantine`. Can tighten to `p=reject` after validation.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Postfix rate limiting
|
|
|
|
Add to `postfix_cf`:
|
|
```
|
|
smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit = 10
|
|
smtpd_client_message_rate_limit = 30
|
|
anvil_rate_time_unit = 60s
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Service already uses `externalTrafficPolicy: Local`, so real client IPs are visible to Postfix.
|
|
ForwardEmail IPs on port 25 are subject to same limits but 10 conn/min is generous.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Prometheus alert
|
|
|
|
Uncomment the existing mailserver-down alert in `prometheus_chart_values.tpl`.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Roundcubemail cleanup
|
|
|
|
- Pin image: `roundcube/roundcubemail:latest` -> `roundcube/roundcubemail:1.6-apache`
|
|
- Disable debug: `ROUNDCUBEMAIL_SMTP_DEBUG = "false"`, `ROUNDCUBEMAIL_DEBUG_LEVEL = "1"`
|
|
|
|
### 6. SendGrid DNS cleanup
|
|
|
|
Remove stale CNAME records: `em7107`, `s1._domainkey`, `s2._domainkey`.
|
|
|
|
## Not Changing
|
|
|
|
- Roundcubemail stays (user preference)
|
|
- ForwardEmail/Mailgun relay stays (practical dependency)
|
|
- ClamAV stays disabled (Rspamd Oletools covers malicious attachments)
|
|
- Single replica (HA email requires significant additional complexity)
