• IMAP Connection Authentications - Requires an authentication module to verify user credentials before granting access to the mail store.
• Mailbox Account Allocations - Allocates local mailbox storage accounts so users can receive and store email on the server.
• Quarantine Rejections - Refuses to deliver messages that checks have marked as quarantined, preventing their transmission to remote servers.
• LMTP Message Receptions - Accepts incoming messages from an external SMTP server through a local LMTP socket for IMAP storage.
• Message Preprocessings - Validates and normalizes header fields (From, To, Cc, Bcc, Reply-To, Message-ID, Date) on incoming messages.
• Envelope Recipient Rewritings - Replaces the recipient address in the SMTP envelope using a table-defined mapping, supporting 1:N expansions for mailing lists.
• Header Injections from Commands - Prepends a valid RFC 5322 header produced by an external command to the message header.
• Mailbox Size Restrictions - Rejects new messages exceeding a configurable size limit to control storage consumption.
• SMTP Pipeline Command Executions - Runs a user-supplied command at a configurable stage of SMTP processing and uses its exit code to accept, reject, or quarantine the message.
• Email Authentication Record Publication - Creates MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records so other servers can deliver and verify mail.
• Sender Domain MX Validations - Checks that the domain in the MAIL FROM command has a valid MX record and quarantines messages from domains without one.
• Email Address Mapping Tables - Transforms email addresses through chainable file, SQL, and regex lookup modules.
• Address Mappings - Transforms recipient email addresses using a configurable table and normalization function before delivery.
• IMAP Flag Assignments - Runs a custom command during message delivery to set IMAP keywords and override the target folder based on command output.

• Custom Delivery Logics - Applies user-defined code late in the delivery pipeline to change the destination IMAP folder and add flags.
• Multi-Domain Mailbox Isolations - Creates separate or shared authentication and storage accounts across multiple domains with independent or unified mailboxes.
