A Complete Backup Guide
|
||||||
|
=======================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is really easy. First off you should have a backup of your
|
||||||
|
``configuration.nix`` file where you have the server config (but that is
|
||||||
|
already in a git repository right?)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Next you need to backup ``/var/vmail`` or whatever you have specified
|
||||||
|
for the option ``mailDirectory``. This is where all the mails reside.
|
||||||
|
Good options are a cron job with ``rsync`` or ``scp``. But really
|
||||||
|
anything works, as it is simply a folder with plenty of files in it. If
|
||||||
|
your backup solution does not preserve the owner of the files don’t
|
||||||
|
forget to ``chown`` them to ``virtualMail:virtualMail`` if you copy them
|
||||||
|
back (or whatever you specified as ``vmailUserName``, and
|
||||||
|
``vmailGoupName``).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally you can (optionally) make a backup of ``/var/dkim`` (or whatever
|
||||||
|
you specified as ``dkimKeyDirectory``). If you should lose those don’t
|
||||||
|
worry, new ones will be created on the fly. But you will need to repeat
|
||||||
|
step ``B)5`` and correct all the ``dkim`` keys.

How to Develop SNM
|
||||||
|
==================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Run tests
|
||||||
|
---------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can run the testsuite via
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
nix-build tests -A extern.nixpkgs_20_03
|
||||||
|
nix-build tests -A intern.nixpkgs_unstable
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Nixops
|
||||||
|
------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can test the setup via ``nixops``. After installation, do
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
nixops create nixops/single-server.nix nixops/vbox.nix -d mail
|
||||||
|
nixops deploy -d mail
|
||||||
|
nixops info -d mail
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can then test the server via e.g. \ ``telnet``. To log into it, use
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
nixops ssh -d mail mailserver
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Imap
|
||||||
|
----
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To test imap manually use
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
openssl s_client -host mail.example.com -port 143 -starttls imap

A Complete Setup Guide
|
||||||
|
======================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Mail servers can be a tricky thing to set up. This guide is supposed to
|
||||||
|
run you through the most important steps to achieve a 10/10 score on
|
||||||
|
``mail-tester.com``.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What you need:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- A server with a public IP (referred to as ``server-IP``)
|
||||||
|
- A Fully Qualified Domain Name (``FQDN``) where your server is
|
||||||
|
reachable, so that other servers can find yours. Common FQDN include
|
||||||
|
``mx.example.com`` (where ``example.com`` is a domain you own) or
|
||||||
|
``mail.example.com``. The domain is referred to as ``server-domain``
|
||||||
|
(``example.com`` in the above example) and the ``FQDN`` is referred
|
||||||
|
to by ``server-FQDN`` (``mx.example.com`` above).
|
||||||
|
- A list of domains you want to your email server to serve. (Note that
|
||||||
|
this does not have to include ``server-domain``, but may of course).
|
||||||
|
These will be referred to as ``domains``. As an example,
|
||||||
|
``domains = [ example1.com, example2.com ]``.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A) Setup server
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following describes a server setup that is fairly complete. Even
|
||||||
|
though there are more possible options (see ``default.nix``), these
|
||||||
|
should be the most common ones.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code:: nix
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
imports = [
|
||||||
|
(builtins.fetchTarball {
|
||||||
|
# Pick a commit from the branch you are interested in
|
||||||
|
url = "https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver/-/archive/A-COMMIT-ID/nixos-mailserver-A-COMMIT-ID.tar.gz";
|
||||||
|
# And set its hash
|
||||||
|
sha256 = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000";
|
||||||
|
})
|
||||||

];
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mailserver = {
|
||||||
|
enable = true;

||||||
|
fqdn = <server-FQDN>;
|
||||||
|
domains = [ <domains> ];

||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
aliases = [
|
||||||
|
"postmaster@example.com"
|
||||||
|
"postmaster@example2.com"

|
||||||

||||||
|
catchAll = [
|
||||||

||||||

|
||||||

|
||||||
|
# loginAccounts addresses.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
# address = forward address;
|
||||||
|
"abuse@example.com" = "user1@example.com";
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Use Let's Encrypt certificates. Note that this needs to set up a stripped
|
||||||
|
# down nginx and opens port 80.
|
||||||
|
certificateScheme = 3;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Enable IMAP and POP3
|
||||||
|
enableImap = true;
|
||||||
|
enablePop3 = true;
|
||||||
|
enableImapSsl = true;
|
||||||
|
enablePop3Ssl = true;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Enable the ManageSieve protocol
|
||||||
|
enableManageSieve = true;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# whether to scan inbound emails for viruses (note that this requires at least
|
||||||
|
# 1 Gb RAM for the server. Without virus scanning 256 MB RAM should be plenty)
|
||||||
|
virusScanning = false;
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After a ``nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade`` your server should be good to
|
||||||
|
go. If you want to use ``nixops`` to deploy the server, look in the
|
||||||
|
subfolder ``nixops`` for some inspiration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
B) Setup everything else
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Step 1: Set DNS entry for server
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add a DNS record to the domain ``server-domain`` with the following
|
||||||
|
entries
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
================ ===== ==== ======== =============
|
||||||
|
Name (Subdomain) TTL Type Priority Value
|
||||||
|
================ ===== ==== ======== =============
|
||||||
|
``server-FQDN`` 10800 A ``server-IP``
|
||||||
|
================ ===== ==== ======== =============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This resolves DNS queries for ``server-FQDN`` to ``server-IP``. You can
|
||||||
|
test if your setting is correct by
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ping <server-FQDN>
|
||||||
|
64 bytes from <server-FQDN> (<server-IP>): icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=21.3 ms
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that it can take a while until a DNS entry is propagated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Step 2: Set rDNS (reverse DNS) entry for server
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Wherever you have rented your server, you should be able to set reverse
|
||||||
|
DNS entries for the IP’s you own. Add an entry resolving ``server-IP``
|
||||||
|
to ``server-FQDN``
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can test if your setting is correct by
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
host <server-IP>
|
||||||
|
<server-IP>.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer <server-FQDN>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that it can take a while until a DNS entry is propagated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Step 3: Set ``MX`` Records
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For every ``domain`` in ``domains`` do: \* Add a ``MX`` record to the
|
||||||
|
domain ``domain``
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Name (Subdomain) | TTL | Type | Priority | Value |
|
||||||
|
| ---------------- | ----- | ---- | -------- | ----------------- |
|
||||||
|
| `domain` | | MX | 10 | `server-FQDN` |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can test this via
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
dig -t MX <domain>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
;; ANSWER SECTION:
|
||||||
|
<domain> 10800 IN MX 10 <server-FQDN>
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that it can take a while until a DNS entry is propagated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Step 4: Set ``SPF`` Records
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For every ``domain`` in ``domains`` do: \* Add a ``SPF`` record to the
|
||||||
|
domain ``domain``
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Name (Subdomain) | TTL | Type | Priority | Value |
|
||||||
|
| ---------------- | ----- | ---- | -------- | ----------------- |
|
||||||
|
| `domain` | 10800 | TXT | | `v=spf1 ip4:<server-IP> -all` |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can check this with ``dig -t TXT <domain>`` similar to the last
|
||||||
|
section. Note that ``SPF`` records are set as ``TXT`` records since
|
||||||
|
RFC1035.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that it can take a while until a DNS entry is propagated. If you
|
||||||
|
want to use multiple servers for your email handling, don’t forget to
|
||||||
|
add all server IP’s to this list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Step 5: Set ``DKIM`` signature
|
||||||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this section we assume that your ``dkimSelector`` is set to ``mail``.
|
||||||
|
If you have a different selector, replace all ``mail``\ ’s below
|
||||||
|
accordingly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For every ``domain`` in ``domains`` do: \* Go to your server and
|
||||||
|
navigate to the dkim key directory (by default ``/var/dkim``). There you
|
||||||
|
will find a public key for any domain in the ``domain.txt`` file. It
|
||||||
|
will look like
|
||||||
|
``mail._domainkey IN TXT "v=DKIM1; r=postmaster; g=*; k=rsa; p=<really-long-key>" ; ----- DKIM mail for domain.tld``
|
||||||
|
\* Add a ``DKIM`` record to the domain ``domain``
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Name (Subdomain) | TTL | Type | Priority | Value |
|
||||||
|
| ---------------- | ----- | ---- | -------- | ----------------- |
|
||||||
|
| mail._domainkey.`domain` | 10800 | TXT | | `v=DKIM1; p=<really-long-key>` |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can check this with ``dig -t TXT mail._domainkey.<domain>`` similar
|
||||||
|
to the last section.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that it can take a while until a DNS entry is propagated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Step 6: Set ``DMARC`` record
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For every ``domain`` in ``domains`` do:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Add a ``DMARC`` record to the domain ``domain``
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
==================== ===== ==== ======== ====================
|
||||||
|
Name (Subdomain) TTL Type Priority Value
|
||||||
|
==================== ===== ==== ======== ====================
|
||||||
|
\_dmarc.\ ``domain`` 10800 TXT ``v=DMARC1; p=none``
|
||||||
|
==================== ===== ==== ======== ====================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can check this with ``dig -t TXT _dmarc.<domain>`` similar to the
|
||||||
|
last section.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that it can take a while until a DNS entry is propagated.
|
||||||

C) Test your Setup
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Write an email to your aunt (who has been waiting for your reply far too
|
||||||
|
long), and sign up for some of the finest newsletters the Internet has.
|
||||||
|
Maybe you want to sign up for the `SNM Announcement
|
||||||
|
List <https://www.freelists.org/list/snm>`__?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Besides that, you can send an email to
|
||||||
|
`mail-tester.com <https://www.mail-tester.com/>`__ and see how you
|
||||||
|
score, and let `mxtoolbox.com <http://mxtoolbox.com/>`__ take a look at
|
||||||
|
your setup, but if you followed the steps closely then everything should
|
||||||
|
be awesome!
