So I figured a little break from the NSA was in order.
I am looking for some info on current practice for an email server and SMTP delivery. It has been a while since I have had to setup an email server and I have been tasked with setting up a small one for a friend. My question centers around the server sending outgoing email and the current practices requirements for other servers to accept email Things like rDNS, SPF records, etc...
I am pretty much set on the issue of incoming spam and virus. Probably overkill but it is checked at the Sophos UTM firewall and at the email server itself.
Thanks,
Robert
MX, PTR, and SPF are really all you need. I would recommend you go a step further and use DKIM, ADSP, and DMARC. It will help keep asshat spammers from flaming your domain all over the internet.
