65Quickstart writes configuration files, prints initial admin and account
66passwords, DNS records you should create. If you run it on Linux it writes a
67systemd service file and prints commands to enable and start mox as service.
69The user or uid is optional, defaults to "mox", and is the user or uid/gid mox
70will run as after initialization.
72Quickstart assumes mox will run on the machine you run quickstart on and uses
73its host name and public IPs. On many systems the hostname is not a fully
74qualified domain name, but only the first dns "label", e.g. "mail" in case of
75"mail.example.org". If so, quickstart does a reverse DNS lookup to find the
76hostname, and as fallback uses the label plus the domain of the email address
77you specified. Use flag -hostname to explicitly specify the hostname mox will
80Mox is by far easiest to operate if you let it listen on port 443 (HTTPS) and
8180 (HTTP). TLS will be fully automatic with ACME with Let's Encrypt.
83You can run mox along with an existing webserver, but because of MTA-STS and
84autoconfig, you'll need to forward HTTPS traffic for two domains to mox. Run
85"mox quickstart -existing-webserver ..." to generate configuration files and
86instructions for configuring mox along with an existing webserver.
88But please first consider configuring mox on port 443. It can itself serve
89domains with HTTP/HTTPS, including with automatic TLS with ACME, is easily
90configured through both configuration files and admin web interface, and can act
91as a reverse proxy (and static file server for that matter), so you can forward
92traffic to your existing backend applications. Look for "WebHandlers:" in the
93output of "mox config describe-domains" and see the output of
94"mox config example webhandlers".

179used unprotected MX records, and SMTP STARTTLS connections cannot verify the TLS
180certificate with DANE (based on a public key in DNS), and will fall back to
181either MTA-STS for verification, or use "opportunistic TLS" with no certificate
184Recommended action: Install unbound, a DNSSEC-verifying recursive DNS resolver,
185ensure it has DNSSEC root keys (see unbound-anchor), and enable support for
186"extended dns errors" (EDE, available since unbound v1.16.0, see below; not
187required, but it gives helpful error messages about DNSSEC failures instead of
188generic DNS SERVFAIL errors). Test with "dig com. ns" and look for "ad"
189(authentic data) in response "flags".
191cat <<EOF >/etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/ede.conf
197Troubleshooting hints:
198- Ensure /etc/resolv.conf has "nameserver 127.0.0.1". If the IP is 127.0.0.53,
199 DNS resolving is done by systemd-resolved. Make sure "resolvconf" isn't
200 overwriting /etc/resolv.conf (Debian has a package "openresolv" that makes this
201 easier). "dig" also shows to which IP the DNS request was sent.
202- Ensure unbound has DNSSEC root keys available. See unbound config option
203 "auto-trust-anchor-file" and the unbound-anchor command. Ensure the file exists.
204- Run "./mox dns lookup ns com." to simulate the DNSSEC check done by mox. The
205 output should say "with dnssec".
206- The "delv" command can check whether a domain is DNSSEC-signed, but it does
207 its own DNSSEC verification instead of relying on the resolver, so you cannot
208 use it to check whether unbound is verifying DNSSEC correctly.
209- Increase logging in unbound, see options "verbosity" and "log-queries".
