+//! # olden-mail
+//!
+//! `olden-mail` is an IMAP & SMTP proxy that allows you to connect to SSL
+//! enabled mail servers using insecure plaintext connections.
+//!
+//! This is of course very insecure, but it's intended to allow vintage
+//! computers that don't have SSL capability or ther right ciphers to still
+//! be used for e-mail.
+//!
+//! ## Installation
+//!
+//! ### Pre-built binaries and packages
+//!
+//! Binaries are available for macos and linux, for both aarch64 and x86_64
+//! from https://build.r.bdr.sh/olden-mail, including `.deb` and `.rpm`
+//! packages.
+//!
+//! ### Homebrew
+//!
+//! You can also install this on macos via homebrew.
+//!
+//! ```
+//! % brew tap rbdr/apps git@git.sr.ht:~rbdr/homebrew-apps
+//! % brew install rbdr/apps/olden-mail
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ### From source
+//!
+//! You can run `make` for a debug build, or `make -e profile=release` for a
+//! release build.
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! The proxy requires you to set environment variables, but otherwise takes
+//! no options.
+//!
+//! * `LOCAL_IMAP_PORT` u16, the port in which the server will listen for
+//! IMAP clients. Defaults to 143.
+//! * `LOCAL_IMAP_BIND_ADDRESS` String, the address on which to listen for
+//! IMAP clients. Defaults to 0.0.0.0.
+//! * `REMOTE_IMAP_PORT` u16, the port to which the server will forward the
+//! IMAP messages. Defaults to 993.
+//! * `REMOTE_IMAP_HOST` String, the host to which the server will forward the
+//! IMAP messages. Required.
+//!
+//! * `LOCAL_SMTP_PORT` u16, the port in which the server will listen for
+//! SMTP clients. Defaults to 25.
+//! * `LOCAL_SMTP_BIND_ADDRESS` String, the address on which to listen for
+//! SMTP clients. Defaults to 0.0.0.0.
+//! * `REMOTE_SMTP_PORT` u16, the port to which the server will forward the
+//! SMTP messages. Defaults to 465.
+//! * `REMOTE_SMTP_HOST` String, the host to which the server will forward the
+//! SMTP messages. Required.
+//!
+//! This means the minimum invocation is this (Shown here with inline
+//! environment variables)
+//!
+//! ```
+//! % REMOTE_IMAP_DOMAIN=imap.coolmailsite.example REMOTE_SMTP_DOMAIN=smtp.coolmailsite.example olden-mail
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Debugging
+//!
+//! You can control how much it prints by setting `RUST_LOG`. Setting it to
+//! `debug` will output the whole protocol stream. The default level is
+//! `info`.

+//! # Proxy Module
+//!
+//! This module has the actual proxy functionality, exposed through
+//! `ProxyServer`. The proxy consists of a local unencrypted TCP stream
+//! and a remote TLS stream. Messages are passed between them via two
+//! threads.
+//!
+//! Each new client connection spawns two threads:
+//! - **Client to Server Thread**: Forwards data from client -> TLS server
+//! - **Serveer to Client Thread**: Forwards data from TLS server -> client
+//!
+//! Finally, the ProxyServer may be shutdown by calling `.shutdown()`,
+//! this will stop new connections and wait for it to finish.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::sync::Arc;
+//! use crate::configuration::ProxyConfiguration;
+//! use crate::proxy::ProxyServer;
+//!
+//! let config = Arc::new(ProxyConfiguration {
+//! protocol: "IMAP".to_string(),
+//! local_port: 143,
+//! remote_domain: "imap.example.com".to_string(),
+//! remote_port: 993,
+//! });
+//!
+//! let mut server = ProxyServer::new(config);
+//! // The server runs in a background thread. To shut down gracefully:
+//! server.shutdown();
+//! ```
