# SelfPost — product boundaries
**What this file is.** Stable product definition for SelfPost v1.0: purpose,
deployment assumptions, explicit out-of-scope items, and the multi-domain
model. User-facing install and operations live in [README.md](../README.md);
as-built technical detail in [architecture.md](architecture.md).
---
## Purpose
SelfPost is a self-hosted **outbound SMTP relay** with a web control panel,
shipped as a single Docker image. It sends mail directly to the internet from
your own IP with per-domain DKIM signing.
**Primary workflow:** configure the relay once (domains, DKIM, SASL
applications), then point scripts and apps at the SMTP endpoint. SelfPost
delivers as the configured sending domain.
---
## Deployment context (fixed assumptions)
These constraints are intentional; changing them requires an explicit product
decision:
1. **VPS or home server** — one image for both. Raspberry Pi and similar boards
are not a current target but not ruled out forever.
2. **Send from your own IP (DIY)** — no intermediate relay provider. Requires
outbound port 25, static IP, and configurable PTR/rDNS from the operator.
3. **Single container** — Postfix, OpenDKIM, and the panel run under one
`supervisord` inside one image.
4. **Panel is internet-facing** — mandatory security requirements in
[security.md](security.md).
**Infrastructure the operator provides (not SelfPost features):** unblocked
outbound TCP 25, static IP, PTR/rDNS, acceptable IP reputation. SelfPost does
not detect, bypass, or compensate for missing prerequisites; mail simply fails
to deliver when they are absent.
---
## Out of scope
Explicitly excluded to prevent scope creep:
- Inbound mail (IMAP/POP3, mailboxes, delivery to user inboxes)
- Webmail
- Multi-user panel / organisations / roles — one administrator; managing
**multiple sending domains** is in scope (see below)
- Inbound antispam/antivirus (rspamd, ClamAV, etc.)
- A custom MTA — Postfix is used as-is
- Dovecot or a full mail stack for SASL — Cyrus SASL (`sasldb2`) only
Future line **2.x.x** (optional inbound relay, domain-admin role) is tracked in
[roadmap.md](roadmap.md) and requires explicit approval before implementation.
---
## Multi-domain model
SelfPost is a **multi-domain outbound relay**. Two linked entities:
### Sending domain
Example: `example.com`. Has its own DKIM key and selector.
### Application (account)
A SASL login/password bound to **one** domain. A domain may have several
applications (e.g. newsletter vs alerts), each with its own credentials, but
each may send **only from its own domain**, never from another.
### From-address mode (per application)
Set when creating or editing an application:
1. **Any address in the domain** — `*@example.com` (wildcard in
`smtpd_sender_login_maps`).
2. **Explicit address list** — only listed From addresses within the domain;
anything else is rejected even if it belongs to the same domain.
In both modes the From address must belong to the application's domain.
### What the panel manages per domain
- DKIM key + selector (shared by all applications on that domain)
- One or more applications (SASL credentials + From mode + optional rate limits)
- DNS guidance (DKIM TXT; reminders for SPF/DMARC)
Adding a domain does **not** create an application automatically.
### Lifecycle
- **Add domain** — record, DKIM key, DNS instructions; no application yet.
- **Add application** — SASL pair (password shown once), From mode, map entries,
`postfix reload`.
- **Delete domain** — removes DKIM key and **all** its applications.
- **Delete application** — removes only that app's SASL and map entries.
This is not multi-tenancy (one admin); it is one owner operating several
sending domains with independent application credentials.
