DeadmanDAO Mail Server

AWS SES may be the solution: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/lists-and-subscriptions.html

No, it doesn't have nearly the capabilities of a real mailing list system.

Mailchimp is out because it was bought for so much money that the money squeeze is going to be intense.

Other commercial providers are not significantly less risky than Mailchimp.

Mailman is robust once deployed and the initial build-out is not too painful.

DeadmanDAO Mailman Build-out

Create Instance

1. go to interserver
2. create a single slice instance ($6/mo at this time)
   1. Debian
   2. KVM
3. Log in root@ip.address using password you provided

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install sudo

Set SPF

apt-get install net-tools
ifconfig

That'll give you the ip4 and ip6 addresses, which go into the DNS text record:

• v=spf1 ip4:66.23.226.216 ip6:fe80::216:3eff:fe24:10e1 -all

Set Other DNS

• A Record, diffie, 66.23.226.216
• A Record, @, 66.23.226.216
• CNAME Record, www, diffie.deadmandao.com
• CNAME Record, mail, diffie.deadmandao.com
• TXT Record, diffe, v=spf1 ip4:66.23.226.216 ip6:fe80::216:3eff:fe24:10e1 -all
• MX Record, deadmandao.com, mail.deadmandao.com, 10

Set Hostname

apt-get install emacs-nox
emacs -nw /etc/hostname
diffie
emacs -nw /etc/hosts
66.23.226.216	diffie.deadmandao.com diffie
reboot
hostname
hostname --all-fqdn
dnsdomainname

Webserver

apt-get install apache2

Put something up in /var/www/html

SMTP Server

apt-get install postfix

deadmandao.com is the host domain

IMAP Server

Skip this step.

apt-get install d o v e c o t - i m a p d

Up next should be Let's Encrypt, but I am going to skip that for now.

I'm actually thinking I don't need an IMAP server for DeadmanDAO or for BSBC, so I'm going to just leave this dangling. I'll probably do a fresh server build anyway and skip this step.
