I now have prosody serving my
XMPP account.  It's pretty fantastic!</p><p>Future work includes:</p><ul><li><p>Migrating my jmp.chat account to use my new prosody account.
This can be done with <a href="http://emacs-jabber.sourceforge.net/manual-0.7.1/Roster-import-and-export.html">emacs jabber mode</a>.</p></li><li><p>Setting up bogofilter or something like it for my prosody
account.  Though, I may not need this.  It's possible that
<a href="https://jmp.chat">jmp.chat</a> already has this.</p></li><li><p>Set up a web interface, where users can buy an XMPP account
from me.</p></li><li><p>I manually imported the letsencrypt cert for prosody to use.  I
need a way to automate this process everytime the letsencrypt
cert gets updated.</p></li></ul><p>I finally got gnucode.me hosting my own email account!  I can
send and receive email from 'joshua' AT 'the afore mentioned domain name'.</p><p>I finally got email working for gnucode.me.  I have SPF, DKIM,
and DMARC working.  This should make it good enough that gmail
will not flag my email as spam.</p><p>Further work includes:</p><ul><li><p>setting up Sieve filtering with dovecot, so the server can do email filtering for me.</p></li><li><p>sanitizing the dovecot <code>ssl-cert</code> and <code>ssl-key</code> fields.  I put
in a <code>/path/to/fullchain.pem/</code>.  I could sanitize it to produce
a path of <code>&lt;/path/to/fullchain.pem/</code>.  I could also add in some
code to let it just uses the letsencrypt certs.</p></li><li><p>Setting up a web based email workflow with Drew Devault's Go
based webmail software and configuring it to set up email
filtering.</p></li><li><p>Creating opensmtpd records using <code>(guix records)</code> so that it is
easier for other guix users to configure opensmtpd for their
needs.</p></li><li><p>Configuring and setting up Opensmtpd to use a database for
email accounts.  This way, I can create a web interface to
charge people for the email account and immediately activate
their email account.  Currently, if I want to add a new email
account, I have to add a new user to guix system, and then I
have to run <code>guix system reconfigure config.scm</code>.</p></li><li><p>Configuring opensmtpd to let dovecot handle email delivery via <code>lmtp</code>.</p></li><li><p>Figuring out how deliver email to &lt;user&gt;@gnucode.me, and &lt;user&gt;
is not a user with a corresponding <code>/home/&lt;user&gt;/</code> on my linode
guix system.  Dovecot has methods to doing this, I just need to
investigate them.</p></li><li><p>Configuring bogofilter or rspamd to work with opensmtpd.
Currently my gnucode account is open to getting lots of spam!</p></li><li><p>Configuring opensmtpd to mark messages as junk if are not
configured to use DKIM, SPF, and DMARC.</p></li></ul><p>So if you would like an email account or an XMPP account, feel
free to reach out.  Paying for one of these accounts will help me
contribute to <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">guix</a> and other free software projects.</p></div></article></section></main><footer><p>© 2020 Joshua Branson.
