* feat: add support for MTA-STS for outgoing mails * Hook-up mta-sts-daemon into basic process handling test * fix: Call python script directly The python3 shebang will run it, which will now meet the expectations of the process testing via pgrep. fail2ban has the same approach. --------- Co-authored-by: Brennan Kinney <5098581+polarathene@users.noreply.github.com>

MTA-STS is an optional mechanism for a domain to signal support for STARTTLS.
|
|
|
|
- It can be used to prevent man-in-the-middle-attacks from hiding STARTTLS support that would force DMS to send outbound mail through an insecure connection.
|
|
- MTA-STS is an alternative to DANE without the need of DNSSEC.
|
|
- MTA-STS is supported by some of the biggest mail providers like Google Mail and Outlook.

## Supporting MTA-STS for outbound mail
|
|
|
|
Enable this feature via the ENV setting [`ENABLE_MTA_STS=1`](../environment.md#enable_mta_sts).
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "If you have configured DANE"
|
|
|
|
Enabling MTA-STS will by default override DANE if both are configured for a domain.
|
|
|
|
This can be partially addressed by configuring a dane-only policy resolver before the MTA-STS entry in `smtp_tls_policy_maps`. See the [`postfix-mta-sts-resolver` documentation][postfix-mta-sts-resolver::dane] for further details.

## Supporting MTA-STS for inbound mail
|
|
|
|
While this feature in DMS supports ensuring STARTTLS is used when mail is sent to another mail server, you may setup similar for mail servers sending mail to DMS.
|
|
|
|
This requires configuring your DNS and hosting the MTA-STS policy file via a webserver. A good introduction can be found on [dmarcian.com](https://dmarcian.com/mta-sts/).
