Where Does Maddy Store Config and Queues?
Maddy mail server maddy.conf plus state and logs on Linux for lightweight setups.
Last updated
Maddy reads one maddy.conf plus a state dir for queues and a log file. Packaged installs use /etc/maddy while source runs use the working dir.
Mail itself lands in Maildirs or IMAP storage you point at. Backing up means copying conf plus state plus mail roots together. Tables and certs sit beside conf.
Where Maddy stores this, by platform
/etc/maddy/maddy.conf
Main config (hosts, auth, storage). State defaults to /var/lib/maddy with logs nearby. Source builds use ./maddy.conf plus ./state instead, so check the run dir.
Frequently asked questions
Where is maddy.conf?
At /etc/maddy/maddy.conf on packaged installs. Run maddy check or maddy verify on edits before restarting. Source checkouts keep it at the repo root.
Where is Maddy mail stored?
In the IMAP roots named in maddy.conf, often Maildirs under /var/lib/maddy or home. Copy conf plus state plus mail for migration.
