Description
Google and Microsoft dominate email, but it's still possible to run your own mail server provided you use modern protocols and maintain acceptable behaviors. This half-day tutorial will take you through configuring your own mail system, from a bare BSD operating system up through SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and discuss the social rules needed to get your messages into Gmail and Outlook.
We'll discuss:
Unix and email
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Postfix and Dovecot setup
Virtual domains
MX and SPF records
SMTP Protocol Tests
DomainKeys Identified Email
DMARC
Webmail with Roundcube
Rspamd
Escaping and Surviving Block Lists
Attendees will leave with an understanding of how to configure a SMTP server and maintain it in an increasingly challenging environment.
Based on my book "Run Your Own Mail Server."
