Autodiscovery ============= `RFC6186 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6186>`_ allows supporting email clients to automatically discover SMTP / IMAP addresses of the mailserver. For that, the following records are required: ================= ==== ==== ======== ====== ==== ================= Record TTL Type Priority Weight Port Value ================= ==== ==== ======== ====== ==== ================= _submission._tcp 3600 SRV 5 0 587 mail.example.com. _submissions._tcp 3600 SRV 5 0 465 mail.example.com. _imap._tcp 3600 SRV 5 0 143 mail.example.com. _imaps._tcp 3600 SRV 5 0 993 mail.example.com. ================= ==== ==== ======== ====== ==== ================= Please note that only a few MUAs currently implement this. For vendor-specific discovery mechanisms `automx <https://github.com/rseichter/automx2>`_ can be used instead.
