05 / NAS MAIL · 2026-09-09
Mail infrastructure, from setup to renewal.
The agent configured the NAS mail setup and certificate deployment, then checked delivery and recovery paths.

FROM REQUEST TO RESULT
How did we make it work?
- 01
Inspect the setup
Check the NAS mail configuration, domain and certificate state.
- 02
Deploy over SSH
Script certificate transfer and application to the mail services.
- 03
Test delivery
Check real outbound and inbound delivery with an external mailbox.
- 04
Prepare recovery
Back up before changes and restore the previous certificate on failure.

THE EVIDENCE & LIMITS
Explore the records
What evidence supports this case?
Based on August–September 2026 Codex work records, handover notes and retained programs. Generated system illustrations are not photographs of the installation. Checks are limited to the dates and scope recorded.
0101 · Preserve configuration and mailboxes
MailPlus configuration was preserved with Hyper Backup and mailboxes with separate synchronization, followed by file-count and structure checks.
0202 · Install and restore on the new NAS
The agent used DSM and SSH to connect package, mailbox and service setup, then verified real sending and receiving after cutover.
0303 · Automate certificate delivery
When Certbot on the Mac renews the certificate, SSH transfers it to the NAS. Domain, validity and key matching are checked before deployment.
0404 · Verify the served certificate
The installer checks that SMTP and IMAP serve the new certificate. On failure it restores the previous certificate and retains the latest three backups.
05Recorded checks and their limits
The migration-preparation record compared 2,037 files, 185 directories and 4 links across the two NAS units.
The 20 August 2026 work record confirms NAS-to-Gmail delivery and Gmail-to-MailPlus INBOX storage. The certificate-deployment scripts are retained.
Scope: AI helped write and run setup and verification code. This does not mean AI reads all mail or operates autonomously at all times; renewal depends on the Mac execution environment.
Operations: Codex / Mac → SSH → NAS MailPlus / Renewal: Certbot → validation + backup → Postfix + Dovecot → TLS check
