Yosemite Home Mail server from Static ISP or registrar?
Hello Again,
Yosemite Home Mail server from Static ISP or registrar?
Im practicing Yosemite Server by hosting it at home on a static IP and am ready to kick in some collaboration services.
In all logic in my head, Mail configrations should precede all other services.
DNS :
So I have example.com registered
I have an @ pointing at my iP for A record.
I have no aliases (CNAME), forwarding URL, stealth or anything else for now.
I probably going to need an MX record too
SSL :
I have an inexpensive SSL certificate from Comodo for example.com and www.example.com.
Internet Line :
I am behind a subcontracted DSL from a major Québec, Canadian ISP
The direct ISP also feeds me a static IP.
The modem I have is in bridge mode.
NAT :
My airport Extreme It is controlled by OS X Server.
