<Aside title="What is SQLite?">
|
||||||
|
SQLite is a lightweight, relational database that stores data in tables with rows and columns, just like bigger
|
||||||
|
database systems such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. Unlike those, it doesn’t need a permanently running server process —
|
||||||
|
instead, it’s just a library your application uses directly, storing everything in a single file. This makes it easy
|
||||||
|
to set up, fast, and ideal for small projects.
|
||||||

- `jack@example.com`
|
|
||||||
- `lucy@example.com`
|
|
||||||
- `tina@example.org`
|
|
||||||
- `jeff@example.net`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
These are three different domains, and your server can handle them all.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is what _virtual domains_ are for. You give your mail server a list of domains and email addresses and it will
|
|
||||||
receive emails for them. Your users will also have passwords that they need to type in to retrieve their emails. You can
|
|
||||||
even set up mailing lists that take messages sent to one address and forward them to several users at once.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To make all this work, we’ll store the configuration in a small SQLite database file. Postfix, Dovecot, and Roundcube
|
|
||||||
will all read from this database to know which domains exist, which users they have, and where each email should go. You
|
|
||||||
will create that simple database on the next page.
