A friend of mine wants to set up a mail server on a VPS and asked me what he needs to do beyond the obvious setting up postfix and dovecot. Is there a good summary somewhere?
I'm thinking of things like: - choose a provider that has decent mail behavior, e.g., not Digital Ocean - make sure the MTA's forward and reverse DNS match - set up an SPF record, probably "v=spf1 mx ~all" - set up DKIM signing for each domain you host, make the DKIM domain match the From: domain = start slow and look at any bounces - maybe collect DMARC stats but for a small volume MTA, not very interesting R's, John _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
