Mailstack Staging

Path: products/articulate/mailstack-staging

mailstack-staging mirrors much of mailstack without presenting a clearly independent product purpose.

Scope

The directory contains:

  • its own PLAN.md,
  • Python operations scripts,
  • systemd and syslog-ng configuration,
  • rootless deployment notes,
  • and tests.

Current interpretation

This directory currently reads as one of two things:

  1. a staging environment for the main mail stack, or
  2. a fork whose distinct purpose was never fully named.

Until that is clarified, it should be documented as operational overlap rather than an independent product.

Recommendation

Document whether this is:

  • a rehearsal environment,
  • a deliverability test environment,
  • or a deprecated fork.

If none of those are true, it should likely be merged back into mailstack.
