2. Rest (workers, fast_server for click tracking, smtp_server)

create postal.yml use postal.example.yml for reference

• generate 128 size secret key using src/create-secretkey.sh and paste it in postal.yml. It is unique to the installation.

• run scripts/create-user.sh (wrapper for postal make-user) to setup initial admin.

To get IP pools to work after enabling in the postal.yml file and adding IPs using the admin ui you may have to go to postal console and check Server.first if the ip_pool is not null
