📧 Ubuntu Server Configuration Script

This script simplifies the setup of a secure server with email configuration using an Ubuntu system. It's inspired by Derek Sivers' script and relies on a refactored version of a script he wrote for OpenBSD operating systems. Let's get your server up and running independently!

🚀 Quick Start

1. Run as Root:

   sudo ./ubuntu_email_config.sh
   

Follow the Prompts:

1. Enter the required information as prompted.

Sit Back and Relax:

• The script will handle the initial setup, download essential configuration files, and guide you through the setup.

Reboot:

• Once done, reboot your system to apply the changes.

🧰 Prerequisites

• Ubuntu system
• Root access (sudo privileges)

📥 Configuration Files

The script will download the following configuration files:

1. httpd.conf: HTTP server configuration
2. relayd.conf: Relay daemon configuration
3. acme-client.conf: ACME client configuration for Let's Encrypt
4. .muttrc: Mutt email client configuration
5. .mailcap: Mailcap configuration for MIME types
6. dovecot.conf: Dovecot IMAP and POP3 server configuration

Note: If pf.conf is found, it will be moved to /etc/pf.conf, which may not be relevant for Ubuntu.

🌐 Domain Setup

1. Domain Name:

   • Enter your domain name when prompted.

2. Username:

   • Provide a lowercase username with no spaces.

3. Verify Email and Login:
