Suggestion: Adding RFC6186 #2

Closed axoroll7 closed 2 years ago

axoroll7 commented 2 years ago

My suggestion: Generating a DNS zone file to include the email client autoconfiguration specified in RFC6186, or a step-by-step tutorial. (The update RFC8314 add "_submissions._tcp" for SMTP over implicit TLS)

Examples:

_imap._tcp SRV 0 1 143 imap.example.com.
_imaps._tcp SRV 0 1 993 imap.example.com.
_submission._tcp SRV 0 1 587 mail.example.com.
_submissions._tcp SRV 0 1 465 mail.example.com.

When the "s" is present, implicit TLS is utilized (SSL/TLS), and when it is absent, opportunist TLS is utilized (Plain or STARTTLS).

Edit: gmail.com is a real world example, server-side. I do not have a client-side example for the moment.

Sure ! I can provide a route for this, it will help importing the TXT into some DNS providers, like CloudFlare for example There is more DNS fields that could be included in it

-- -- --
example.com TXT "mailconf=https://autoconfig.example.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml"
autoconfig.example.com CNAME autoconfig-host.example.com
autodiscover.example.com CNAME autodiscover-host.example.com
_autodiscover._TCP.example.com SRV autodiscover.example.com
_pop3._TCP.example.com SRV pop.mails.example.com
_pop3s._TCP.example.com SRV pop.mails.example.com

I added some code to make a DNS text file that downloads itself. I need to test it a bit but it should be alright. Will make a release for this soon
