## Required DNS Records
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. MX Record (Mail Exchange)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Type: MX
|
||||
Name: @
|
||||
Content: mail.example.com
|
||||
Priority: 10
|
||||
Proxy: DNS only (gray cloud)
|
||||
TTL: Auto
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. A Record (Mail Server)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Type: A
|
||||
Name: mail
|
||||
Content: YOUR_PUBLIC_IP
|
||||
TTL: Auto
|
||||
Proxy: DNS only (gray cloud)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. SPF Record (Sender Policy Framework)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Type: TXT
|
||||
Name: @
|
||||
Content: v=spf1 mx ~all
|
||||
TTL: Auto
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For stricter policy, use:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
v=spf1 mx -all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. DKIM Record (DomainKeys Identified Mail)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Type: TXT
|
||||
Name: mail._domainkey
|
||||
Content: v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY_FROM_MAIL_TXT_FILE
|
||||
TTL: Auto
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**To get your DKIM public key:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat /etc/opendkim/keys/example.com/mail.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:**
|
||||
- Remove quotes from the key
|
||||
- Remove line breaks (make it one continuous line)
|
||||
- Format: `v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSq...`
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. DMARC Record (Email Authentication)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Type: TXT
|
||||
Name: _dmarc
|
||||
Content: v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@example.com
|
||||
TTL: Auto
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Policy Levels (in order of strictness):**
|
||||
- `p=none` - Monitor only (start here)
|
||||
- `p=quarantine` - Mark suspicious emails
|
||||
- `p=reject` - Reject failing emails (most strict)
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. PTR Record (Reverse DNS)
|
||||
**⚠️ This MUST be configured at your hosting provider, NOT Cloudflare**
|
||||
|
||||
Contact your VPS/hosting provider and request:
|
||||
```
|
||||
PTR for YOUR_PUBLIC_IP → mail.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Example request email:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Subject: PTR Record Configuration Request
|
||||
|
||||
Hello,
|
||||
|
||||
Please configure the reverse DNS (PTR record) for my IP address:
|
||||
IP: YOUR_PUBLIC_IP
|
||||
PTR Record: mail.example.com
|
||||
|
||||
Thank you!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Optional But Recommended
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Autodiscover (Easy client setup)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Type: CNAME
|
||||
Name: autodiscover
|
||||
Content: mail.example.com
|
||||
TTL: Auto
|
||||
Proxy: DNS only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Autoconfig (Mozilla clients)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Type: CNAME
|
||||
Name: autoconfig
|
||||
Content: mail.example.com
|
||||
TTL: Auto
|
||||
Proxy: DNS only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification Commands
|
||||
|
||||
After adding DNS records, verify them with these commands:
|
||||
|
||||
### Check MX Record
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
dig example.com MX
|
||||
# or
|
||||
nslookup -type=MX example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check A Record
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
dig mail.example.com A
|
||||
# or
|
||||
nslookup mail.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check SPF Record
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
dig example.com TXT
|
||||
# or
|
||||
nslookup -type=TXT example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check DKIM Record
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
dig mail._domainkey.example.com TXT
|
||||
# or
|
||||
nslookup -type=TXT mail._domainkey.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check DMARC Record
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
dig _dmarc.example.com TXT
|
||||
# or
|
||||
nslookup -type=TXT _dmarc.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check PTR Record (Reverse DNS)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
dig -x YOUR_PUBLIC_IP
|
||||
# or
|
||||
nslookup YOUR_PUBLIC_IP
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Important Notes
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Proxy Status**: Always use "DNS only" (gray cloud) for mail-related records. Never use Cloudflare proxy (orange cloud) for MX, A records pointing to mail servers, or mail-related TXT records.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Propagation Time**: DNS changes can take 1-48 hours to fully propagate worldwide. Be patient!
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Testing Tools**: Use these to verify your setup:
|
||||
- https://www.mail-tester.com (sends test email)
|
||||
- https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx (DNS checker)
|
||||
- https://dmarcian.com/dmarc-inspector/ (DMARC validator)
|
||||
- https://www.dmarcanalyzer.com/dkim/dkim-check/ (DKIM validator)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Common Mistakes**:
|
||||
- Forgetting to set PTR record at hosting provider
|
||||
- Using Cloudflare proxy on mail records
|
||||
- Not removing quotes/spaces from DKIM key
|
||||
- Typos in subdomain names (_dmarc, _domainkey)
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Priority Order**:
|
||||
- Day 1: Add MX, A, and SPF records
|
||||
- Day 2: Add DKIM record (after generating keys on server)
|
||||
- Day 3: Add DMARC with `p=none` for monitoring
|
||||
- Week 2+: Change DMARC to `p=quarantine` or `p=reject`
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Cloudflare Specific Settings
|
||||
|
||||
### API Mode (Optional)
|
||||
If you want to automate DNS updates via API, you'll need:
|
||||
- Your Cloudflare Zone ID
|
||||
- An API token with DNS edit permissions
|
||||
|
||||
### SSL/TLS Settings
|
||||
In Cloudflare dashboard:
|
||||
- Go to SSL/TLS → Overview
|
||||
- Set to "Full" or "Full (strict)" if you have valid certificates
|
||||
- Do NOT use "Flexible"
|
||||
|
||||
### Email Routing
|
||||
Cloudflare offers Email Routing that can forward emails. If you're running your own server, make sure:
|
||||
- Email Routing is DISABLED, or
|
||||
- Configure it to work alongside your MX records
|
||||

Great! Let's take your aerc setup to the next level. Here are several enhancements:
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Color Schemes & Styling
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom styleset for priority/tags
|
||||
|
||||
Create a custom styleset:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.config/aerc/stylesets
|
||||
nano ~/.config/aerc/stylesets/custom
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Paste this (customize colors as you like):
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|

|
||||
|
||||
In `~/.config/aerc/aerc.conf`:
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[ui]
|
||||
# Show icons/symbols for tags
|
||||
icon-unread=✉
|
||||
icon-replied=↩
|
||||

### Message list formatting with colors
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `~/.config/aerc/aerc.conf`:
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[ui]
|
||||
# Custom index format with conditional colors
|
||||
index-columns = date<20,name<25,flags>4,subject<*
|
||||
column-date = {{.DateAutoFormat .Date.Local}}
|
||||
column-name = {{index (.From | names) 0}}
|
||||
column-flags = {{.Flags | join ""}}
|
||||
column-subject = {{.ThreadPrefix}}{{.Subject}}
|
||||
|
||||

||||
## 2. Advanced Tag-Based Coloring
|
||||
|
||||
Create a script to colorize by tag:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nano ~/.config/aerc/scripts/colorize-tags.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# Color messages based on notmuch tags
|
||||
|
||||
MSGID="$1"
|
||||
TAGS=$(notmuch search --output=tags id:$MSGID)
|
||||
|
||||
if echo "$TAGS" | grep -q "priority1"; then
|
||||
echo -e "\033[1;31m" # Bold red
|
||||
elif echo "$TAGS" | grep -q "priority2"; then
|
||||
echo -e "\033[1;33m" # Bold yellow
|
||||
elif echo "$TAGS" | grep -q "spam"; then
|
||||
echo -e "\033[0;90m" # Gray
|
||||
elif echo "$TAGS" | grep -q "newsletter"; then
|
||||
echo -e "\033[0;36m" # Cyan
|
||||
else
|
||||
echo -e "\033[0m" # Default
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make executable:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x ~/.config/aerc/scripts/colorize-tags.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[viewer]
|
||||
pager=less -R
|
||||
|
||||
# Syntax highlight code blocks
|
||||
text/plain=bat --style=plain --paging=never --color=always
|
||||
|
||||
# Or use highlight
|
||||
# text/plain=highlight -O ansi --force
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Better HTML rendering with custom CSS
|
||||
|

|
||||
max-width: 800px;
|
||||
margin: 20px auto;
|
||||
line-height: 1.6;
|
||||
color: #e0e0e0;
|
||||
background: #1a1a1a;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
a {
|
||||
color: #58a6ff;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
code {
|
||||
background: #2d2d2d;
|
||||
padding: 2px 6px;
|
||||
border-radius: 3px;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
pre {
|
||||
background: #2d2d2d;
|
||||
padding: 10px;
|
||||
overflow-x: auto;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Update viewer:
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
