The lazy solution: https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/ubuntu-18-04-iredmail-email-server
Fully featured but has higher RAM requirements.
https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/setup-basic-postfix-mail-sever-ubuntu
https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/secure-email-server-ubuntu-postfix-dovecot
Ensure every little thing in the config is right, one missing line can screw things up bigtime.
When doing the virtual mailboxes, having virtual_transport
set up to use lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
is essential.
Either use the one bundled in Ubuntu or use their official releases
https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/postfixadmin-create-virtual-mailboxes-ubuntu-20-04
https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin
"Master" branch has latest features but isn't stable. as of writing postfixadmin doesn't have native dovecot mail-crypt-plugin support

This is very in depth.

I just set up the 'Junk' option.

For basic configuration just enable all of the plugins (Except filesystem_attachments?)
Create /opt/enigma/home
and have owned by www-data

There are pull requests that add the functionality https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/pull/421 https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/pull/505 However they are not yet on the release branch, only master, so cannot use them without directly using master.
