Let me read the full autoconfig.md doc for setup/requirements.

Autodiscover only responds to POST requests at /autodiscover/autodiscover.xml, not GET. If you test with curl -v without -X POST (and without an autodiscover XML request body), the server will return a 404 because the request doesn’t match the handler.

To test correctly:

curl -v -X POST https://autodiscover.example.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml \
  -H "Content-Type: text/xml" \
  --data '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Autodiscover xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/outlook/requestschema/2006">
  <Request>
    <EMailAddress>[email protected]</EMailAddress>
    <AcceptableResponseSchema>http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/outlook/responseschema/2006a</AcceptableResponseSchema>
  </Request>
</Autodiscover>'

A few other prerequisites:

  • The request must reach Stalwart over HTTPS (port 443).
  • autodiscover.example.com needs a DNS CNAME pointing at your mail host (Stalwart can generate/publish this record automatically per domain, see the DNS records page in the WebUI).
  • There is also a GET /autodiscover/autodiscover.json endpoint for the Autodiscover v2 flow, which redirects clients to the correct service endpoint.

See the Autoconfig/Autodiscover docs for the full picture of what Stalwart implements (PACC, Mozilla Autoconfig, and Microsoft Autodiscover v1/v2).
