Regardless of how one might feel about patches-over-email software development, the reality is that a lot of exciting open source projects are developed on mailing lists. Configuring a pleasant plaintext-oriented e-mail environment may not be obvious for those of us who come from a primarily git forge style background. At least, it wasn’t for me. In any case, I’ve finally arrived at a productive setup and I’d like to write it down here for posterity.

Even Ispmail Workaround has no ide how to update Dovecot.

Do not try to upgrade your existing server using apt-get dist-upgrade. There are too many changes especially with Dovecot.

After four years of development, we’re thrilled to announce a major milestone in the evolution of Stalwart — the full implementation of JMAP for Calendars, Contacts,File Storage, and Sharing. With this release, Stalwart becomes the first JMAP server to fully support the entire family of JMAP collaboration protocols, marking a new era for open, efficient, and elegant groupware.

“Matthew Green and Ian Miers recently proposed puncturable forward secure encryption, which is a technique to add forward secrecy to OpenPGP-like systems. […]

Guidelines on how to approximate forward secrecy were published in 2001 by Ian Brown, Adam Back, and Ben Laurie. Although their proposal is only for an approximation of forward secrecy, it is significantly simpler than Green and Miers’ approach, and it works in practice.”

I’ve been daydreaming of an olm/double ratchet over email but apparently that requires key exchange which isn’t possible on an asynchronous communication protocol like SMTP. 😭

Article covers the three major components of modern email domain security: DKIM for signing, SPF for sender verification, and DMARC for stricter enforcement of the other two. It is assumed the reader has a basic understanding of DNS and has experience using email with their own domain.
