I've been thinking of migrating our mail infrastructure to a virtual
server, running in the Web3 IPFS cloud - without having a physical IP
address attached to it.
The obvious question becomes: How do I publish an address to it? How
do I set up an MX record to point to a socket listener that has
nothing but an IPFS CID to identify it? I can set up a DNS_Link TXT
record, pointing to an IPNS record - but MX records have to resolve
to an FQDN.
If you want other people to be able to reach you by mail you need a
server that is accessible by a public IPv4 and IPv6 address.
If you don't have that, people can't reach you.
Of course, you can use NAT with static rules, if you need/want.
The MX includes a hostname and this needs to point to A/AAAA records
with public addresses.
Otherwise other servers can't deliver mail.
Well Duh... I'm asking if anybody has figured out a hack for delivering
mail to virtual servers.
