Outlook autodiscover / autoconfig subdomain DNS entries

[bfm2k]

Why doesn’t Mail-in-a-Box auto-create the DNS entries for autodiscover.* and autoconfig.* for auto-email client setup out of the box?

Even when I add these in as Custom DNS entries, Mail-in-a-Box doesn’t allow me to generate the required Lets Encrypt certificate for auto setup to work correctly, so to get this to work I need to create a random account at both the autoconfig.* and autodiscover.* subdomains for each domain name I host on the server!

Is there a reason this isn’t already working out of the box?

…Is this not a priority or am I wrong in my diagnosis?

Best to discuss this in an issue on github.

Thanks, done!
