Add production email delivery security and hardening guidance
Rebased #94
Summary
This PR adds a focused production hardening guide for Postal mail deployments.
The page complements the existing Postal configuration and Sending Domains documentation without duplicating the configuration reference or the source-alignment corrections already being developed in the upstream documentation series.
What is covered
smtp_hostname,helo_hostname, HELO/EHLO identity, PTR/rDNS and FCrDNS~allmigration mode and-allproduction modedkim_identifierand the complete selectorFrom,MAIL FROMand HELO/EHLO identity separationDesign goals
The guidance deliberately distinguishes:
This prevents configuration values such as
dkim_identifier,domain_verify_prefix, andcustom_return_path_prefixfrom being mistaken for DNS hostnames or interchangeable prefixes.The examples use documentation-only IP ranges and
example.comnames so they cannot be copied as real production addresses by accident.Relationship to the existing documentation series
Pull Request #90 is already merged and provides the Sending Domains feature page. Pull Requests #91–#93 cover the configuration reference and source-alignment corrections for other documentation areas. This PR intentionally avoids reimplementing those pending changes and instead adds the missing security/hardening layer as a standalone feature page.
