## What it is
A shell script that automates installing and configuring a full email server on Debian/Ubuntu using Postfix, Dovecot, Spamassassin, OpenDKIM, Certbot, and fail2ban. It uses standard Unix system users for accounts and outputs the DNS records needed for mail authentication.

## Use cases
- set up my own email server on a VPS
- self-host email instead of Gmail
- automate Postfix and Dovecot installation on Debian
- send mail that doesn't land in Gmail spam with DKIM and SPF
- run a private mail server for device notifications over a VPN

## When to choose
- you want a simple, scriptable mail server on Debian/Ubuntu with Unix user accounts
- you prefer using a native mail client like mutt or Thunderbird rather than a webmail interface
- you want DKIM, SPF, DMARC, and SSL configured automatically

## When to avoid
- you need a webmail interface like Roundcube out of the box
- you need virtual mail domains backed by a SQL database
- you run a non-Debian distribution

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: email, security, configuration-management, deployment
- domain: self-hosted, email, privacy
- platform: linux, cli
