The accounturi parameter at Chatmail server DNS records

Mutual Help
1

I have installed a Chatmail server.

Running scripts/cmdeploy dns tells me a DNS record is not set and shows me a CAA record for letsencrypt.org which uses the accounturi parameter.

However, my registrar does not allow to include such a long value on that field. Apparently not every registrar allows to set the accounturi parameter on CAA records.

What should I do?
What are the risks of not complying with it?
Besides changing registrars, is there any other option?

Thank you

Another option I’ve been told is to use a different DNS server while keeping the registrar.

CAA record is not very important, you can skip adding it if it’s impossible. But may be better to switch to another DNS server in any case because there is no reason for not being able to setup CAA records. If DNS provider cannot provide an interface to add CAA records they likely don’t care much about their DNS service.
