Purpose

  • DNS Management Cloudflare
  • Email Configuration Not yet configured
  • SimpleLogin Configuration Not yet configured
  • Proton Mail Configuration Not yet configured

⚖️ Design Principles
  • The domain is the permanent public email identity.
  • Cloudflare manages the domain registration and DNS.
  • Public email addresses will use the custom domain.
  • SimpleLogin will manage service-specific aliases.
  • Mail will be delivered to a private Proton Mail mailbox.
  • The underlying Proton address will not be deliberately shared publicly.
  • Registrar and DNS account recovery must not depend solely on an email address using this domain.
📋 Next Steps
  • Secure the Cloudflare account with multiple YubiKeys where supported.
  • Confirm automatic domain renewal is enabled.
  • Confirm the recovery email is independent of mattdenison.co.uk.
  • Create and secure the Proton Mail account.
  • Create or link the SimpleLogin account.
  • Configure the domain for email routing.
  • Add and verify the required MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records.
  • Test incoming mail, replies and new outgoing conversations before migrating live accounts.
