Default

{ }

Example

{"user1@localhost" = {passwordFile = /secrets/user1-localhost;};"user2@localhost" = {passwordFile = /secrets/user2-localhost;};}

services.maddy.group

Group account under which maddy runs.

::: {.note} If left as the default value this group will automatically be created on system activation, otherwise the sysadmin is responsible for ensuring the group exists before the maddy service starts. :::

Type: string

Default

"maddy"

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/mail/maddy.nix

services.maddy.tls.extraConfig

Arguments for the specified certificate loader.

In case the tls loader is set, the defaults are considered secure and there is no need to change anything in most cases. For available options see upstream manual.

For ACME configuration, see following page.

Type: null or strings concatenated with "\n"

Default

""

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/mail/maddy.nix

services.maddy.tls.loader

TLS certificates are obtained by modules called "certificate loaders".

The file loader module reads certificates from files specified by the certificates option.

Alternatively the acme module can be used to automatically obtain certificates using the ACME protocol.

Module configuration is done via the tls.extraConfig option.

Secrets such as API keys or passwords should not be supplied in plaintext. Instead the secrets option can be used to read secrets at runtime as environment variables. Secrets can be referenced with {env:VAR}.
