# Mail Server: Deployment
1. Create MX and TXT records. For example, here are example records defined in dnscontrol:
```Javascript
D('example.com', REG_NAMECHEAP, DnsProvider(DSP_NAMECHEAP),
A('mail', '10.87.129.99'),
MX('@', 10, 'mail.example.com.'),
TXT('_dmarc', 'v=DMARC1; p=none'),
TXT('@', 'v=spf1 mx ~all')
);
```
The `A` and `MX` records are required, while the `TXT` records are optional but recommended.
2. Set a password for the "main" virtual inbox:
```shell
echo main:$(doveadm pw -s BLF-CRYPT) >> files/$TARGET/imap.passwd
```
Also, if you use `doas` rather than `sudo`, you need to permit your ansible_user to become opendkim in your `/etc/doas.conf`:
```
permit nopass blee as opendkim
```
3. Copy a vars/targets file, update the values, and run this playbook
Troubleshooting: Sanity check opendkim (may need restart, although I think I fixed that):
```shell
ls -AlF /var/spool/postfix/opendkim/opendkim.sock
```
4. look at the maildir uid/gid in main.cf and use those in the imap.passwd file (switching to the dovecot role will fix that later)
5. configure some virtual aliases in /etc/postfix/virtual and run:
```shell
postmap virtual vmailbox
```
See `man 5 postconf` for details.
6. Sanity check: https://mxtoolbox.com/
7. (optional) Create another TXT record for DKIM using the contents of /etc/dkimkeys/mail.txt
Here's an example line in dnscontrol:
```Javascript
TXT('mail._domainkey', 'v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa; s=email; p=MIIBIjANB...QIDAQAB')
```
* See [print-rdata.py](examples/print-rdata.py) for a (kind of bad) example of how to automatically parse mail.txt
* See [dnscontrol](https://dnscontrol.org/) as well as [octodns](https://github.com/octodns/octodns-easydns)
If you're really feeling adventurous, you could even set up a proper dmarc address to replace the original placeholder TXT record.
```Javascript
TXT('_dmarc', 'v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:dmarc@satstack.cloud; fo=1')
```
After records propogate, verify outbound mail using [mail-tester](https://www.mail-tester.com/).
