THIS PAGE IS A DRAFT, NOT READY FOR USE YET
- webmail
- set up thunderbird for myseneca
- can't use the same keys generated in www lab, they're for the wrong FQDN

your server, please ensure you're okay with that.
Are you OK with your IP being logged?

Cleaning up challenges
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/email.asmith15.ops345.ca/fullchain.pem
Your key file has been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/email.asmith15.ops345.ca/privkey.pem
Your cert will expire on 2022-02-28. To obtain a new or tweaked
version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot
again. To non-interactively renew *all* of your certificates, run
"certbot renew"

- Put keys on the email server:
scp -P 2212 -i keys/ssh/ops345-all-aws-machines.pem keys/email.asmith15.ops345.ca.* andrew@34.202.103.43:~
[root@email andrew]# cp email.asmith15.ops345.ca.cert.pem /etc/pki/tls/certs/
[root@email andrew]# cp email.asmith15.ops345.ca.key.pem /etc/pki/tls/private/
- configure postfix to enable encrypted connections from client software. add this to the bottom of main.cf:
# Settings to enable secure SMTP using my self-signed certificate:
smtpd_tls_auth_only = no
smtpd_use_tls = yes
smtp_use_tls = yes
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/pki/tls/private/email.asmith15.ops345.ca.key.pem
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/pki/tls/certs/email.asmith15.ops345.ca.cert.pem
tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
- test with telnet/EHLO: should say 250-STARTTLS
- complete test will be done with thunderbird later
- dovecot installed in previous lab, it needs very little configuration for our simple setup
- /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
- Modify the protocols option so that Dovecot will work with IMAP connections, no POP3 or LMTP.
- 10-ssl.conf:
ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/email.asmith15.ops345.ca.cert.pem
ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/email.asmith15.ops345.ca.key.pem
- ss should show port 993, no 995 or 110
- there's no iptables running on email, so just open port 993 in ops345sgemail
- configure thunderbird:
- IMAP: email.asmith15.ops345.ca, SSL 993, normal password, username without @domain
- SMTP: email.asmith15.ops345.ca, STARTTLS 25, normal password, username without @domain
- tail -f /var/log/maillog and send a message from thunderbird
- The message is not sent, because postfix is not configured to authenticate users. encryption alone is not enough.
- https://www.xmodulo.com/enable-user-authentication-postfix-smtp-server-sasl.html
- except the SSL/TLS parameters part.
- Send email again. Note the messages about connection timed out. We can't do anything about that in AWS Academy:
- There's more to do anyway to set up a real sending server, as a minimum DKIM/SPF but reverse DNS for the domain also helps.

- Eventually the email you tried to send will bounce because that's a temporary error
