Gytis Repečka<p>Running e-mail servers is always fun: as the time came to renew TLS certificate on one machine doing e-mail transmission (SMTP), came to know <code>TLSA</code> records are now supposed to be <code>3 1 1</code> (no more <code>3 0 1</code>) :blobcateyes:</p><p>There is an added benefit of <code>3</code> (<code>DANE-EE</code>) <code>1</code> (subject public key) <code>1</code> (SHA2-256 hash digest) - if you do not rotate your private key to issue TLS certificate, you don't need to update the <code>TLSA</code> record - signature can be squeezed from key and certificate is not necessary at that point. If you do rotate private keys, this enables you to <a href="https://mail.sys4.de/pipermail/dane-users/2018-February/000440.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">pre-create DNS records</a> even before certificate is issued (given that you already generated keys) - that is really nice :blobcatthumbsup:</p><p><a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/serveradmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>serveradmin</span></a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/email" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>email</span></a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/dane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dane</span></a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/dns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dns</span></a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/tls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tls</span></a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/certificate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>certificate</span></a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/sha256" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sha256</span></a></p>
Bruce Heerssen<p>The domain name for this instance was just transferred away from squarespace to Namecheap. I think I have everything configured correctly, but we'll see. If I disappear, that's what happened. :P</p><p>And with that, I'm done with Squarespace for good. </p><p><a href="https://darkmoon.social/tags/ServerAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ServerAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://darkmoon.social/tags/Domains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Domains</span></a></p>

Bruce Heerssen<p>Playing with email again. Since I have an email server and a mastodon server, I figured why not have an email address for my mastodon account. So I did. If you want to email me (and I don't know why you would) you can now send mail to my mastodon handle, omitting the leading @.</p><p>I might come to regret this. 😅 </p><p><a href="https://darkmoon.social/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://darkmoon.social/tags/ServerAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ServerAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://darkmoon.social/tags/Postfix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Postfix</span></a></p>
Bruce Heerssen<p>I just transferred the darkmoon.social domain away from Squarespace, so this instance may go down for a short time before I can get DNS set up again.

Bruce Heerssen<p>Question for postfix folks:</p><p>I have a Postfix instance handling two virtual domains on a VPS, and both currently share the same ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. I would like to properly configure dmarc, but that requires separate IP addresses for each domain. My provider is loathe to give me a second ipv4 address, claiming scarcity. Fair enough. They did provide an ipv6 range that I can use.</p><p>So, are there still issues with ditching ipv4 altogether for at least one of the domains?</p><p><a href="https://darkmoon.social/tags/Postfix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Postfix</span></a> <a href="https://darkmoon.social/tags/ServerAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ServerAdmin</span></a></p>
Bruce Heerssen<p>Well, this blows. Spamhaus has blocked the entire 2600:3c00::/64 IPv6 range, which includes my email server. That seems a little excessive.</p><p>I found out because I tried to send an email to my employer, and they use Spamhaus. This is a problem for me and I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I can disable IPv6 for sending email. I dunno.</p><p><a href="https://check.spamhaus.org/results/?query=2600:3c00::f03c:94ff:fe85:b6ee" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">check.spamhaus.org/results/?qu</span><span class="invisible">ery=2600:3c00::f03c:94ff:fe85:b6ee</span></a></p><p><a href="https://darkmoon.social/tags/ServerAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ServerAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://darkmoon.social/tags/Postfix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Postfix</span></a> <a href="https://darkmoon.social/tags/Spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spam</span></a></p>
Bruce Heerssen<p>I finally got my first bit of legitimate spam (is that even a thing?) since installing SpamAssassin on my mail server. SpamAssissin did its job and correctly tagged the message as spam. </p><p>Honestly, when I first set up my mail server, I thought I'd get a lot more spam.

Martinus Hoevenaar<p>Did the admin of the server where my site is hosted today. Keeping AI scrapers and AI bots out is ongoing and successful. 🙂 <br>A thing that has been a trend for a while now, is the increase in visitors with a VPN. Okay, it makes studying demographics harder, but it makes me a happy man.

Bruce Heerssen<p>I recently added email to my mastodon instance, and with that success, I'm ready to finally cut email ties with Google. I bought a new domain name and I'll set that up with postfix/dovecot/etc, then start moving all of my various internet accounts over to it.</p><p>The new domain has a .net TLD instead of the current .com TLD, and that's nice; it's more appropriate since I'm not running a business.
