about
/dev/hack has a self-hosted email server located at https://mail.devhack.net running on mailcow, which is a suite of applications including Postfix, Dovecot, and nginx. Email is authenticated with rDNS, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and should be able to reach the major email providers as well as other private email servers. Please submit a bug report or message someone in chat if you are finding your outbound emails wind up in spam. Our domains are currently devhack.net and devhack.email.
sign-in
Any member with a /dev/hack IDP account has access to the mail server. To sign in, go to https://mail.devhack.net and click the dropdown next to the login button, then choose the option for SSO. If you have never signed into the webmail client before, a mailbox will be automatically provisioned for you. If you have not already, it is highly recommended that you set your account up with 2FA if you intend to have an email account.
mail applications
If you want to use a mail application other than the webmail, you can set up an application password through the web ui for clients that support IMAP (TCP/993) and SMTP submission (TCP/587). POP3 is not currently permitted through the firewall. To set up the application password, click on the wrench in the top right of the webmail UI, select "App passwords", and from this menu add a new application password. This will be for individual applications. If you are using multiple clients, set a password for each one. You will use mail.devhack.net for both IMAP and SMTP submission, with the aforementioned ports. Both require using TLS.
requesting service accounts, aliases, etc
If you need a service account, alias, or distribution list to be created, please submit a ticket through https://bugs.devhack.net/ and ask in the /dev/hack chat! ToDo: Make this self-service.
sending as an alias from webmail
Click on the gear at the top of the left navigation panel in webmail. Click on mail, then IMAP accounts, and click the edit button next to your email address. Under settings and identities, click "new identity", and enter the alias you requested earlier here, as well as a name. Save everything, and go back to webmail. If you write a new email, you should now have the option to use this alias when sending mail.
