I´d say Viktor is biased towards 3 1 1. You may call me biased towards 2 1 1 because I dislike pinning a key that is supposed to rotate. In any case you need to automate updates or monitoring and I do, though the relevant "change" use case in 2 1 1 didn´t happen so far.

[pfx] queue_lifetime clarification
Hello, For some specific reason we had a requirement of holding the mails in mailq for the mails coming from a specific domain. To achieve the same, added 2 lines in main.cf bounce_queue_lifetime = 7d maximal_queue_lifetime = 7d and used header_checks to hold the mails in queue. Now, as no decision is made, I want to continue to hold for another 13 days more. So, I have changed the following bounce_queue_lifetime = 20d maximal_queue_lifetime = 20d and restarted the queue. Will this change, hold the queue for another 13 days more? Or it remembers the earlier lifetime of 7 days for those in hold queue? -- Anant S Athavale -- Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

There are multiple issues with "2 1 1": - With a public issuer CA, you're adding a redundant trusted party, with generally rather weak domain validation (DV) certificate issuance mechanisms. - The underlying EE certificates are then subject to periodic expiration. Some operators invariably fail to rotate them on time. - A less common problem, but also unique to DANE-TA(2) is failure to match the hostname in the certificate. Some operators neglect to make sure that the TLSA base domain aligns with a DNS name in the certificate. - The CA operator can always surprise you with unexpected changes in their insfrastructure. - With "3 1 1" *you* decide when to rotate your keys, pre-publish a "3 1 1" TLSA record matching next key, and then switch to that key once the TLSA record has been in place for a few TTLs. > You may call me biased towards 2 1 1 because I dislike pinning a key > that is supposed to rotate. You're always pinning a key, either the issuer CA's or the end-entity (EE) servers. Only poor ACME tooling gets in the way of key rotation with "3 1 1". If you can prepare a key in advance of a certificate rollover, prepublish the matching "3 1 1" and use that key conditionally on a prepublication timer having elapsed, then you get key rollover without introducing a redundant trusted third party or risking outages due to certificate expiration, name match failures, ... Each day, a handful of domains fail DANE validation, a large majority, because of botched Let's Encrypt integration, where the key rotation is not properly orchestrated. They'd be far better off with a "pinned" 3 1 1, that they rollover at their discretion, rather than let the ACME client break their mail system every 2 months. -- Viktor. ___ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
