Worked 4h.

Catch all system mail, local mail client mutt
Documentation started at https://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Infrastructure/procedures/Maintaining_email_services
In staging, do not relay emails to popular email providers (not catch "ALL" yet)

Worked 1d, will do the job on staging. So far, the feature will only be used from staging environment and superseedes relay=smtp to use relay=lurker, so no appending into /var/mail/username, but rather directly added to the lurker database.

We don’t want to archive those emails anyway.
