I have removed the “idea” tag from this thread, because… we have an email service now!

It’s already handling email for a handful of accounts, mostly the main Kosmos ones, which we were using Gandi mailboxes for, plus a couple of normal user accounts for more testing. It’s already possible to choose between local delivery and remote forwarding by just changing the `maildrop` attribute in LDAP.

There’s [an open WIP PR](https://gitea.kosmos.org/kosmos/chef/pulls/526) for the server configs (with some things not pushed yet). However, the akkounts part for generating/updating email passwords and LDAP attributes is still missing.

If someone wants to test it with their own accounts already, please DM me here, and I can manually add the LDAP attributes for you.
