Merged. Thanks Yvan :)

About backward compatibility, in case anyone wanted to move from Mailcow to Galae ? Maybe can we smooth the code, make some global function to avoid redundant code and keep INET and SOCKET choice on the master config file ? :thinking:

Hi @IGLOU-EU

Ideally, allowing users to chose between socket and inet is a good thing. However the switch to inet needed to be done fast on our side, so we did not have the time to investigate on the complexity to implement this choice. Hopefully it can be done later!
