Notes
- Users with a Sugar Labs shell account on sunjammer can use our SMTP relay for personal email submission. Any abuse will be prosecuted.
- The submissions port (465) is preferred for email relay. Unauthenticated and unencrypted connections are not allowed to relay.
- All email originating from the sugarlabs.org domain must be submitted through our SMTP server. Failure to do so may result in your email being blocked by spam filters.
SPF
Our domains use a non-strict (~all) SPF records.
You can add an spf record in the zone file in the form
hostname TXT "v=spf1 redirect=_spf.hostname.sugarlabs.org" _spf.hostname TXT "v=spf1 ip4:IPv4_of_hostname/mask ip6:IPv6_of_hostname/mask a:hostname.sugarlabs.org mx:hostname.sugarlabs.org ~all"
The a and mx values are authorized mail server by domain name and authorized server by domain MX record, the MX record should also be defined for hostname.
Also maintain spacing and formatting for each section you add in the zone file.
DKIM
Our domain publishes a DKIM key.
To test DKIM, send an email to autorespond+dkim@dk.elandsys.com
To generate an ed25519 key to use for DKIM, you can use openssl
# Generate ed25519 key $ openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out dkim_private.pem # Generate public key from private key $ openssl pkey -in dkim_private.pem -pubout -out dkim_public.pem
For ed25519 keys, the p value in the DKIM record must only contain the BASE64 encoded public key, without an ASN.1 structure
$ openssl asn1parse -in dkim_public.pem -offset 12 -noout -out /dev/stdout | openssl base64 VGhpcyBpcyBqc3V0ZSBhc29ka2ZvYXNrZWpkZmtsc2pkZgo=
Your entry would look like this
default._domainkey.hostname TXT "v=DKIM1; g=*; k=ed25519; p=VGhpcyBpcyBqc3V0ZSBhc29ka2ZvYXNrZWpkZmtsc2pkZgo=" _adsp._domainkey.hostname TXT "dkim=unknown"
Ensure your private key is on hostname and specify the path to it when using a tool like opendkim - /etc/opendkim.conf -, with the user and group of the key being opendkim.
