Advanced Configurations
=======================

Congratulations on completing the `Setup Guide <setup-guide.html>`_!

If you're an experienced mailserver admin, then you probably know what you want
to do next. Our How-to guides (accessible in the navigation sidebar)
might help you accomplish your goals. If not, consider contributing a guide!

If this is your first mailserver, consider the following:

- Set up `backups <backup-guide.html>`_.
- Enable `DMARC reporting <options.html#mailserver-dmarcreporting>`_ to be a
  good citizen in the mail ecosystem.
Suggest that folks enable DMARC reporting SNM supports DMARC reporting, but it's disabled by default. For email greybeards, that's fine, but I think it would be useful to teach email newbies (as I was a few months ago) that this is something you should seriously consider enabling. I opted to put this in a new "Advanced Configurations" section that points experienced mailserver admins to our howto guides, and newbies to a couple of important things. refs: https://github.com/NixOS/infra/pull/635 2025-04-13 10:56:07 -07:00			`Advanced Configurations`
