There's a bind-users list: https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users Do search the archive before posting questions; there's a high likelihood that the answer is already there. > I desire to set up an isolated-from-the-Internet environment to test DMARC > and DNSSEC protected email systems, hence I want to replicate the Internet's > DNS system, or to put it, configure a TLD nameservers for Chain of Trust in > my Isolated network that is not able to reach the ICANN's real TLD > nameservers. The big thing there is that you will need to set up a local certificate authority to manufacture your test certificates. Generating the certs is not difficult, but keeping track of everything is very complex. > https://www.cloudflare.com/en-au/learning/dns/dns-records/dns-dmarc-record/ > Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) is a > method of authenticating email messages.

DMARC is a policy statement about how receivers should treat SPF and DKIM failures. It's a reasonably simple syntax that goes in your DNS, and does not require DNSSEC. SPF is a policy statement about what mail servers you think should be sending email from your domain; it is also a reasonably simple syntax that goes in your DNS and does not require DNSSEC. DKIM is a complex system of cryptographically signing certain headers in email that passes through your mail system and also publishing keys in DNS. It does not require DNSSEC. If you're not opposed to spending a little money, Michael Lucas just wrote Run Your Own Mail Server, which is a serious guide to both practice and theory. https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/ryoms-preorder/ I understand that it is now in final proofs before delivery to purchasers.
