mx1 runs Simple NixOS Mailserver (Postfix/Dovecot/Rspamd/OpenDKIM) for
cnx.email. The TLS cert is obtained via ACME DNS-01 using a dedicated,
scoped TSIG key (acme_mx1) that ns1 authorizes for only
_acme-challenge.mx1 and _acme-challenge.mta-sts on the cnx.email zone, so
the credential can write nothing else. Mailbox passwords are auto-minted
by a clan vars generator (four-word passphrase + number).
DANE TLSA (3 1 1) is published for _25._tcp.mx1; --reuse-key keeps the
key digest stable across renewals. MTA-STS is enforced via a Caddy vhost
serving the policy on :443 from the same cert (mta-sts SAN). Firewall
opens 25/587/465/143/993/443; 80 stays closed.
- Knot authoritative DNS: ns1 primary, ns2 secondary serving cnx.network,
buildfor.life and cnx.email over TSIG-secured zone transfer (modules/dns)
- Knot listens publicly + over ZeroTier; firewall opens port 53
- Complete clan inventory: name/domain, admin SSH key, control as the
zerotier controller, tor on all nixos machines
- Enable age yubikey/fido2-hmac secret plugins
