maddy/dist

Distribution files for maddy

systemd unit

maddy.service launches using default config path (/etc/maddy/maddy.conf). maddy@.service launches maddy using custom config path. E.g. maddy@foo.service will use /etc/maddy/foo.conf.

Both unit files use DynamicUser to allocate user account for maddy, hence you don't need to create it explicitly. Also, they use *Directory options, so required directories will be created as well.

Additionally, unit files apply strict sandboxing, limiting maddy permissions on the system to a bare minimum. Subset of these options makes it impossible for privileged authentication helper binaries to gain required permissions, so you may have to disable it when using system account-based authentication with maddy running as a unprivilieged user.
