A few options are available to install Zeyple, feel free to use the one that suits you best.
- APT repository
- Chef cookbook
- Ansible role
- Bash script [1]
- By hand - follow instructions below: [1]
You need to be root here - make sure you understand what you are doing.
-
Install GnuPG and the Python wrapper for the GPG library.
apt-get install gnupg python3-gpg sudo
-
Since Zeyple is going to read and encrypt your emails, it is recommended to create a dedicated user account for this task (using the "postfix" user is very discouraged according to the doc.
adduser --system --no-create-home --disabled-login zeyple
-
Import public keys for all potential recipients.
mkdir -p /var/lib/zeyple/keys && chmod 700 /var/lib/zeyple/keys && chown zeyple: /var/lib/zeyple/keys sudo -u zeyple gpg --homedir /var/lib/zeyple/keys --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --search [email protected] # repeat for each key
-
Configure
/etc/zeyple.conf
from the templatezeyple.conf.example
.cp zeyple.conf.example /etc/zeyple.conf vim /etc/zeyple.conf
Default values should be fine in most cases.
-
Plug it into Postfix.

As a side note,
localhost:10026
is used to reinject email into the queue bypassing the zeyplecontent_filter
.
You are good to go!
You can send you an email with date | mail -s test root
and check it is encrypted.
[1] The Git repository is GPG signed - if you cloned the repository locally, you can make sure it has not been tampered with by importing my key with gpg --recv-keys 09A98A9B
then running git tag -v $(git tag | tail -1)
.
Manually remove the added lines in /etc/postfix/{main,master}.cf
then
rm -rfv /etc/zeyple.conf /usr/local/bin/zeyple.py /var/lib/zeyple /var/log/zeyple.log
userdel zeyple
postfix reload
