Welcome file The following settings will enable opportunistic TLS for inbound connections on default smtp port(25). smtpd_tls_security_level = may You can enforce STARTTLS on submission port e.g 587 by editing /etc/postfix/master.cf submission inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt This will enforce STARTTLS on port 587. Note: You would also need to first generate self signed or intermediate certificate to enable inbound TLS in Postfix.

Welcome file If you are seeing the following error in PowerMTA or Postfix logs : StatusDnsQueryFailed resolving domain It’s likely caused by 3 reasons : The requested domain does not exist. It doesn’t have neither MX nor A record. The upstream DNS provider is throttling excessive queries from your mail server. You are hitting bandwidth limits on either WAN(if the dns resolver request is going out via internet interface). As always, i highly recommend to use dedicated recursive DNS server on LAN for your mailing infrastructure or use unthrottled upstream DNS resolver.

article1 Most of the time Postfix is configured with self signed certificate which works well because mostly certificate validation is not required by MTAs. Though it can be useful for applications or mailbox users connecting to central MTA to delivery of emails. You can either buy SSL certificate from your provider or use letscrypt.org free certificates(needs to be renewed every 3 months). In this guide, i will use letencrypt certificate for my mx host console.postfix.io . I use letsencrypt utility to manage certificate for my domains, below command will generate standalone certificate for my host. letsencrypt certonly --standalone -d console.postfix.io The output… Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:/etc/letsencrypt/live/console.postfix.io/fullchain.pem Your key file has been saved at:/etc/letsencrypt/live/console.postfix.io/privkey.pem… Edit main.cf vim /etc/postfix/main.cf Replace the following lines : smtpd_tls_ce
