@jimsalter @dashdsrdash and anyone else who might know.

A while back I created the necessary DKIM/DMARC (I think) DNS records to keep DNS from dropping email to my custom domain on the floor.

But now I get a ton of automated seeming DMARC emails.

I've never seen a bad report in any of them, so I'll admit to having stopped looking. It's not like most modern email clients can cope with the .tar.gz contents anyway (Yes I know, read mail with mutt, and I do, but I also use the web UI because I'm a lazy cretin :).

Is there a way to make these actually useful? Should I maybe just change the records to send to a + variant of my address so I can filter them into a folder and ignore them like I'm doing now but with extra clutter? :)

Thanks

#tfw You have to email a government agency, explain in excruciating detail why your mail server (and any other that enforces #DMARC) can't receive certain emails they're sending that fail their DMARC policy, and then cross your fingers and pray that the tier 1 customer service rep who reads your email forwards it to someone who can fix the problem AND said someone actually takes the time to do it. *sigh*

#tfw you have multiple interviews for an #infosec leadership position at a company, and the hiring manager ends up telling you they really wanted to hire you but couldn't convince the executive team to put the money in the budget, and then months later they add you to their marketing list, and then your #DMARC deployment tries to send them an aggregate report, and it bounces because their RUA inbox is broken, thus proving that they really should have hired you to clean up shit like that.

Die kürzlich veröffentlichte Cyber-Sicherheitsempfehlung "Upgrade für die E-Mail-Sicherheit" ist ein Paradebeispiel für die lösungsorientierte Zusammenarbeit zwischen verschiedenen Abteilungen im BSI. Nur so konnten wir praxisnahe Empfehlungen aussprechen, die auf Beobachtungen der echten Welt da draußen beruhen. Oft können Unternehmen, die E-Mails über eine eigene Domain senden und empfangen, nämlich schon mit überschaubaren Aufwand ihre Sicherheit deutlich verbessern.

@jeremiah_ @elb #NNCPNET, the new #NNCP-based email network, now has a bidirectional, opt-in, Internet #email bridge! salsa.debian.org/jgoerzen/dock

This gates Internet email to/from NNCP. The bridge is off by default. It is a full participant in #SPF, #DKIM, #DMARC, and #TLS in both directions.

Yes, now you can get Internet email straight to your #RaspberryPi ! (And even without this, your Pis can email each other!)

Week 8, The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, Part III

In this video, we look at ways to combat Spam. In the process, we learn about email headers, the Sender Policy Framework (#SPF), DomainKeys Identified Mail (#DKIM), and Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (#DMARC). #SMTP doesn't seem quite so simple any more...

I just found out that Dovecot 2.4 is a crippled version of Dovecot 2.3: no more clustering support, the director function has been removed. If you want to do clustering now, you'll have to buy a Pro license.

https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.0/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html#removed-features

So, although I've used Dovecot for years, both private and for work, it seems like this is the end of the line for me.

At the same time I see what @Stalwart Labs can do. Yes, clustering, for one. And a whole lot more, including bayesian classification, analysis of DMARC reports and even a reputation database.

I'm really impressed by what it can do. Bit hesitant about the fact that it's still only version 0.11.5 though, smells alpha...

Looks like Stalwart is the future for me.

Yes, it allows newlines. Tough luck, @towo. No, Google, the D is a capital letter. No, Microsoft, don't fucking put a '[Preview]' in front.
