SPF DNS Entry
Traxel Settings
- IPV4: 69.10.40.10
- IPV6: fe80::d227:88ff:fe34:7999/64
- Format: v=spf1 ip4:40.113.200.201 ip6:2001:db8:85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7348 include:thirdpartydomain.com ~all
- Start with the SPF version, v=spf1.
- Indicates that this is an SPF record.
- Will always be spf1 as other SPF versions have been discontinued.
- We'll only ever need 640K of RAM.
- Next, all IP addresses that are eligible to send email on behalf of your domain.
- Space delimited
- prefix ip[n]:
- ip4:69.10.40.10 ip6:fe80::d227:88ff:fe34:7999
- Next comes the include statement, which lists every third party organization that sends email on your behalf.
- Does this mean interserver? Is this the part where reverse lookups come in?
- include:thirdpartydomain.com
- The end of the SPF record is the strictness level.
- "-all" - strictest, fail email that doesn't come from this ip list
- "~all" - accept but flag email from other servers
- "+all" - anything goes
- I'll be using "-all".
Looks like the only remaining question is the "include" tag. How do I handle the include tag and/or flag my server from the reverse lookup standpoint?
- If no include:
- v=spf1 ip4:69.10.40.10 ip6:fe80::d227:88ff:fe34:7999 -all
- This works. Problem solved. Grumble.
- If yes include:
- v=spf1 ip4:69.10.40.10 ip6:fe80::d227:88ff:fe34:7999 include:systemicbias.com -all
DeadmanDAO
Create Instance
- go to interserver
- create a single slice instance ($6/mo at this time)
- Debian
- KVM
- 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
- CNAME Record, @, diffie.deadmandao.com
- 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.
