Hello,
I've finally managed to have Alaveteli running – via Vagrant.
What would be the next step to make emails running?
It doesn't seem clear from the documentation there would be a next step for this so I'd hoped it would work out of the box – after editing the config.
Do I need to follow some of the steps laid out here: https://alaveteli.org/docs/installing/email/
Am I correct in understanding that I can/should set-up a POP server which has a superuser account that would grant Alaveteli rights to create new mailboxes as per each request?
Thank you,
Alex

I figured out Postfix IS running.
Is there anything to be edited in general.yml for email to start working? Here is my general.yml (with comments stripped) https://pastebin.com/RWFYzyUU
are all the emails listed with @localhost and @alaveteli.10.10.10.30.nip.io automatically created?
looking at /var/log/mail/mail.log I see 'Connection timed out' for external domains:

I also ran the test command:
bundle exec rake spec
as per https://alaveteli.org/docs/installing/manual_install/#troubleshooting
I got:
0 examples, 0 failures, 440 errors occurred outside of examples
with a list of code-level errors

Excellent work! It's worth noting that we don't recommend Vagrant for a production install, but it's good for testing Alaveteli and getting used to the platform.

Yes, this describes how to handle sending and receiving email with Alaveteli.
> Set-up a POP server
At this point, I wouldn't worry about a POP mailbox. This is only a requirement for Alaveteli Pro (https://alaveteli.org/docs/pro/)
> I see 'Connection timed out' for external domains:
The Vagrant setup is for development, so isn't suitable for external email.
You'll want to use real domain names with all the associated DNS setup (A and MX records) and the associated email best practices (https://alaveteli.org/docs/running/server/#email-configuration).
> I also ran the test command bundle exec rake spec … with a list of code-level errors
From the log it looks like the test database hasn't had its schema loaded. Run `RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:migrate`. We've added this to the automated install scripts for future versions of Alaveteli [1].
Best,
Gareth
