#### Progressive Robot's fork of hMailServer, an SMTP, IMAP and POP3 mail server

Progressive Robot's fork of hMailServer, not the original by Martin Knafve, which
is developed separately and has releases of its own. The fork's home is
<https://gitlab.com/hmailserver/hmailserver>.

hMailServer is a mail server: SMTP in and out, IMAP and POP3, with spam and
virus checks, DKIM, SPF, DMARC and ARC, and its administration over a REST API
and the Control Deck page that API serves. It keeps its accounts and settings
in a PostgreSQL or MariaDB/MySQL database of yours, reached over the network,
and its messages under /var/snap/hmailserver/common.

After installing, point it at its database and start it:

```
 sudo snap set hmailserver db.type=postgresql db.host=192.0.2.10 \
     db.name=hmailserver db.user=hmailserver
 printf '%s\n' 'the database password' | sudo hmailserver.set-database-password
 sudo snap start --enable hmailserver.daemon
```
