HOWTO: Configuring SMTP TLS Reporting in MailMarshal

Expand / Collapse
Show/Hide Article Tools


This article applies to:

  • MailMarshal 11.2 and above
  • SMTP TLS Reporting

Question:

  • How do I configure MailMarshal to deliver SMTP TLS reporting to external domains?
  • What are the basic steps to configure acceptance of SMTP TLS reporting for local domains?

Background:

SMTP TLS reporting is a diagnostic framework that allows sending systems using TLS to share statistics and specific information about potential failures with recipient domains. Recipient domains can then use this information to both detect potential attacks and diagnose unintentional misconfigurations. 

SMTP TLS reports can be delivered via email or web posting, at the option of the recipient domain.

For full specifications, see RFC 8460.

MailMarshal 11.2 and above can provide SMTP TLS reporting for issues related to DANE and MTA-STS. 

  • Note: Current versions of MailMarshal do not provide full reporting for STARTTLS 

Requirements:

For reporting outbound:

  • SMTP TLS reporting in MailMarshal requires you to enable DANE and/or MTA-STS. See the following articles:
  • The MailMarshal services on all processing servers must be allowed to connect via HTTPS outbound and make POST requests.
    • This requirement is to support delivery over HTTPS, which is one of the methods specified in the RFC.
  • In the Management Console navigate to Configuration > Advanced Settings
    • Add a setting: Controller.EnableTLSRPT (boolean) True
    • Commit configuration.
To accept reports inbound:
  • If you want to receive reports by email, configure an appropriate email address to receive the reports (usually one in each domain you are configuriing)
  • If you want to receive reports over HTTPS, configure a HTTPS web site with a page that accepts zip files by HTTP POST
  • For each domain, add a DNS TXT record that specifies the email address or web address for report delivery. 
    • The record name format is _smtp._tls.<your domain>
      • for example, _smtp._tls.example.com
    • The record text format is similar to one of the following (substitute your confirgured email address or URL):
      • v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:tlsrpt@example.com
      • v=TLSRPTv1; rua=https://reporting.example.com/v1/tlsrpt
