Internal services

Fingerprint and keys

IMPORTANT! Please check fingerprints and keys before connecting to any internal service.

Reading mail

Use POP3 or IMAP4 to read mail.

IMAP Subfolders should use "/" as a separator. Preferably folders should be stored alongside INBOX, not in INBOX. See below under Filtering.

Push mail with IMAP IDLE and server-side search is supported.

Specifics:

Host: pop.hack.org

Use STARTTLS or SSL.

Username: user@domain

To see if you connect to the right server, see keys.

Sending mail

To send mail, use ESMTP with STARTTLS or SSL.

Host: ecki.hack.org

Port: 587 (or 465 with SSL).

Use STARTTLS or SSL.

Username and password: Same as when reading mail.

To see if you connect to the right server, see keys.

Filtering mail

We support postfix names on your e-mail address. You can add +whatever to your address. An address such as foo+bar@example.com will be delivered to foo@example.com. This might help when filtering incoming messages.

We support the Sieve mail filtering language. It is, however, currently only available to users with SSH access.

Store your filter as

ecki:~/.dovecot.sieve

You can test the filter with sieve-test(1).

Please store your folders alongside INBOX not under INBOX, that is:

and not

If you would like an example Sieve filter, have a look at MC's extensive filter in

ecki:~mc/.dovecot.sieve

DNS Update

For some of our domains we support dynamic updates of DNS data with DNS Update (RFC 2136). Typically we allow only changes to A, AAAA and IPSECKEY records but we can discuss what you want to do.

Updates should go to ns1.hack.org.

If you don't have any credentials contact MC.
