* fix: Workaround `postconf` write settle logic
After updating `main.cf`, to avoid an enforced delay from reading the config by postfix tools, we can ensure the modified time is at least 2 seconds in the past as a workaround. This should be ok with our usage AFAIK.
Shaves off 2+ seconds roughly off each container startup, reduces roughly 2+ minutes off tests.
* chore: Only modify `mtime` if less than 2 seconds ago
- Slight improvement by avoiding unnecessary writes with a conditional check on the util method.
- Can more comfortably call this during `postfix reload` in the change detection cycle now.
- Identified other tests that'd benefit from this, created a helper method to call instead of copy/paste.
- The `setup email restrict` command also did a modification and reload. Added util method here too.
* tests(fix): `mail_smtponly.bats` should wait for Postfix
- `postfix reload` fails if the service is not ready yet.
- `service postfix reload` and `/etc/init.d/postfix reload` presumably wait until it is ready? (as these work regardless)
* chore: Review feedback - Move reload method into utilities
While working on tests, I noticed that some of the configs being mounted were adding a few seconds to the start-up time of each container. Notably `postfix-*` and `dovecot.conf` config files, which have been extracted out into their own tests with those files moved into a separate config folder.
`tests.bats` has been adapted to the common setup helper, and removed ENV no longer required to run those tests. Future PRs will extract out more tests.
Review may be easier via individual commit diffs and their associated commit messages describing relevant changes.

tests(chore): `tests.bats` - Remove redundant config
===
- ONEDIR volume support no longer relevant, this should have been dropped.
- ClamAV ENV no longer relevant as related tests have been extracted already.
- Same with the some of the SpamAssassin ENV config.
- `VIRUSMAILS_DELETE_DELAY` is tested in the file, but doesn't use this ENV at all? (runs a separate instance to test the ENV instead)
- Hostname updated in preparation for migrating to new test helpers. Relevant test lines referencing the hostname have likewise been updated.
```

tests(chore): `tests.bats` - Convert to common setup
===
ENV remains the same, but required adding `ENABLE_AMAVIS=1` to bring that back, while the following became redundant as they're now defaulting to explicitly disabled in the helper method:
- `ENABLE_CLAMAV=0`
- `LOG_LEVEL=debug`
- `ENABLE_UPDATE_CHECK=0`
- `--hostname` + `--tty` + standard `--volume` lines
- `-e` option expanded to long-name `--env`, and all `\` dropped as no longer necessary.
`wait_for_finished_setup_in_container` is now redundant thanks to `common_container_setup`.
```
```markdown
tests(refactor): `tests.bats` - Extract out Dovecot Sieve tests
===
Sieve test files relocated into `test/config/dovecot-sieve/` for better isolation.
`dovecot.sieve` was not using the `reject` import, and we should not encourage it? (docs still do):
https://support.tigertech.net/sieve#the-sieve-reject-jmp
```
```markdown
tests: `tests.bats` - Extract out `checking smtp` tests
===
Migrated to the standard template and copied over the original test cases with `_run_in_container` adjustment only.
Identified minimum required ENV along with which mail is required for each test case.
```
```markdown
tests(refactor): `smtp-delivery.bats`
===
- Disabled `ENABLE_SRS=1`, not necessary for these tests.
- Added a SpamAssassin related test (X-SPAM headers) which requires `SA_TAG` to properly pass (or `ENABLE_SRS=1` to deliver into inbox).
- Many lines with double quotes changed to single quote wrapping, and moving out `grep` filters into `assert_output --partial` lines instead.
- Instead of `wc -l` making failures less helpful, switch to the helper method `_should_output_number_of_lines`
- x2 `assert_output` with different EOF style of usage was not actually failing on tests when it should. Changed to assert partial output of each expected line, and count the number of lines instead.
- Added additional comments related to the test cases with a `TODO` note about `SPAMASSASSIN_SPAM_TO_INBOX=1`.
- Revised test case names, including using the common prefix var.
- `tests.bats` no longer needs to send all these emails, no other test cases require them. This affects a test checking a `/mail` folder exists which has been corrected, and a quotas test case adjusted to expect an empty quota size output.

```markdown
tests: `tests.bats` - Extract out test cases for config overrides
===
Slight improvement by additionally matching `postconf` output to verify the setting is properly applied.
```
```markdown
tests: `tests.bats` - Extract out Amavis SpamAssassin test case
===
Removes the need for SpamAssassin ENV in `tests.bats`.
```
</details>
- `disabled_clamav_spamassassin`:
- Just shuffling the test order around, and removing the restart test at the end which doesn't make sense.
- `postscreen`:
- Now uses common helper for getting container IP
- Does not appear to need the `NET_ADMIN` capability?
- Reduced startup time for the 2nd container + additional context about it's relevance.
- Test cases are largely the same, but refactored the `nc` alternative that properly waits it's turn. This only needs to run once. Added additional commentary and made into a generic method if needed in other tests.
- `fail2ban`:
- Use the common container IP helper method.
- Postscreen isn't affecting this test, it's not required to do the much slower exchange with the mail server when sending a login failure.
- IP being passed into ENV is no longer necessary.
- `sleep 5` in the related test cases doesn't seem necessary, can better rely on polling with timeout.
- `sleep 10` for `setup.sh` also doesn't appear to be necessary.
- `postgrey`:
- Reduced POSTGREY_DELAY to 3, which shaves a fair amount of wasted time while still verifying the delay works.
- One of the checks in `main.cf` doesn't seem to need to know about the earlier spamhaus portion of the line to work, removed.
- Better test case descriptions.
- Improved log matching via standard method that better documents the expected triplet under test.
- Removed a redundant whitelist file and test that didn't seem to have any relevance. Added a TODO with additional notes about a concern with these tests.
- Reduced test time as 8 second timeouts from `-w 8` don't appear to be required, better to poll with grep instead.
- Replaced `wc -l` commands with a new method to assert expected line count, better enabling assertions on the actual output.
- `undef_spam_subject`:
- Split to two separate test cases, and initialize each container in their case instead of `setup_file()`, allowing for using the default `teardown()` method (and slight benefit if running in parallel).
- `permit_docker`:
- Not a parallel test, but I realized that the repeat helper methods don't necessarily play well with `run` as the command (can cause false positive of what was successful).
- The usual serial to parallel test conversion to utilize the `setup.bash` common setup structure, and adding a `TEST_PREFIX` var for each test case to leverage.
- Standardize on parallel test naming conventions for variables / values.
- More consistent use of `bash -c` instead of `/bin/bash -c` or `/bin/sh -c`.
- Using the `_run_in_container` helper instead of `run docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME}`.
- Updates tests to use the `check_if_process_is_running` helper.

chore: Revise inline docs for the `ssl_letsencrypt` test
- Moves the override to be in closer proximity to the `initial_setup` call, and better communicates the intent to override.
- Removes top comment block that is no longer providing value or correct information to maintainers.
- Revised `acme.json` test case inline doc comments.
`tls.bash` helper was adapted to the new helper scripts location. The `setup.bash` helper saw a bugfix (expanding the array properly) and updates the container default config to configure for IPv4 explicitly.
The IPv4 default was added after recent Docker pushes and I saw weird IPv6 related errors in the logs.. now we're sure IPv4 is the default during tests.
Added functionality to check if a process is running:
- This change adds a helper function to check whether a program is running inside a container or not.
- This added the need for a function like `_run_in_container` but allowing for providing an explicit container name.
- Future PRs can use this helper function now to check whether a process is running or not. This was done for the tests of Fail2Ban, but can be used for other tests in the future as well.

chore: Restructured BATS flags in `Makefile`
The `Makefile` has seen a bit of a restructuring when it comes to flags:
1. The `MAKEFLAGS` variables is used by `make`, and allows for adding additional flags that can be used within in recursive calls (via `$(MAKE)`) too, thus DRY approach.
2. The flags for calling BATS were adjusted. `--no-parallelize-within-files` has been added as well to ensure tests _inside_ a single file are run sequentially.
`dms-test` prefix matching changed to expect a `_` suffix as a delimiter.

docs: Add a note regarding output from running tests in parallel
With `reload` a change detection event during local testing can be processed in less than a second according to logs. Previously this was 5+ seconds (_plus additional downtime for Postfix/Dovecot to become available again_).
In the past it was apparently an issue to use `<service> reload` due to a concern with the PID for wrapper scripts that `supervisorctl` managed, thus `supervisorctl <service> restart` had been used. Past discussions with maintainers suggest this is not likely an issue anymore, and `reload` should be fine to switch to now 👍
---
**NOTE:** It may not be an issue in the CI, but on _**local systems running tests may risk failure in `setup-cli.bats` from a false positive**_ due to 1 second polling window of the test helper method, and a change event being possible to occur entirely between the two checks undetected by the current approach.
If this is a problem, we may need to think of a better way to catch the change. The `letsencrypt` test counts how many change events are expected to have been processed, and this could technically be leveraged by the test helper too.
---
**NOTE:** These two lines (_with regex pattern for postfix_) are output in the terminal when using the services respective `reload` commands:
```
postfix/master.*: reload -- version .*, configuration /etc/postfix
dovecot: master: Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration
```
I wasn't sure how to match them as they did not appear in the `changedetector` log (_**EDIT:** they appear in the main log output, eg `docker logs <container name>`_).
Instead I've just monitored the `changedetector` log messages, which should be ok for logic that previously needed to ensure Dovecot / Postfix was back up after the `restart` was issued.

Commit history:
* chore: Change events `reload` Dovecot and Postfix instead of `restart`
Reloading is faster than restarting the processes.
Restarting is a bit heavy handed here and may no longer be necessary for general usage?
* tests: Adapt tests to support service `reload` instead of `restart`
* chore: Additional logging for debugging change event logs
* fix: Wait on change detection, then verify directory created
Change detection is too fast now (0-1 seconds vs 5+).
Directory being waited on here was created near the end of a change event, reducing that time to detect a change by the utility method further.
We can instead check that the directory exists after the change detection event is completed.
* chore: Keep using the maildir polling check
We don't presently use remote storage in tests, but it might be relevant in future when testing NFS.
This at least avoids any confusing failure happening when that scenario is tested.
The current `test/test_helper/common.bash` was getting large. Setup logic has been extracted out into a new file.
`common.bash` resides in a directory named `test_helper/`, the `test_` prefix is redundant.
As an interim solution this provides a new approach for the updated tests, while the "old" tests can use the "old" `common.bash`. Eventually all tests should migrate to the new approach in `helper/` instead of the older `test_helper/`.
The new helper files are located under `test/helper/` (_which drops the `test_` prefix_). The new and updated helpers apply the new naming convention for ENV variables (_such as `CONTAINER_NAME` or `IMAGE_NAME`_).
---
Some refactoring occurred, including new methods like `_run_in_container()` and `_default_teardown()`.
---
I encountered a situation before in which the updated tests would fail because there were collisions of ENV names in the tests (_for example with `CONTAINER_NAME`_).
