Berwn 1cb6f39ea2 Add declarative SNM mail stack on mx1 with DNS-01, DANE, MTA-STS
mx1 runs Simple NixOS Mailserver (Postfix/Dovecot/Rspamd/OpenDKIM) for
cnx.email. The TLS cert is obtained via ACME DNS-01 using a dedicated,
scoped TSIG key (acme_mx1) that ns1 authorizes for only
_acme-challenge.mx1 and _acme-challenge.mta-sts on the cnx.email zone, so
the credential can write nothing else. Mailbox passwords are auto-minted
by a clan vars generator (four-word passphrase + number).

DANE TLSA (3 1 1) is published for _25._tcp.mx1; --reuse-key keeps the
key digest stable across renewals. MTA-STS is enforced via a Caddy vhost
serving the policy on :443 from the same cert (mta-sts SAN). Firewall
opens 25/587/465/143/993/443; 80 stays closed.

# Declarative mail stack for mx1 (Simple NixOS Mailserver: Postfix + Dovecot +
# Rspamd + OpenDKIM). Imported by machines/mx1 alongside the SNM flake module.
#
# Mailboxes are virtual (not system users): each address below is a login account
# whose password is auto-generated by a clan vars generator as a four-word
# passphrase with a trailing number (e.g. otter-lantern-cobalt-driftwood-42). The
# generator stores both the passphrase and its sha-512 hash. To add a mailbox:
# append the address to `accounts`, run `clan vars generate mx1`, redeploy mx1,
# then hand the passphrase to the user:
# clan vars get mx1 mail-passwd-<addr>/passphrase
# (addr with @ and . replaced by -at- and -, e.g. mail-passwd-postmaster-at-cnx-email)
