Hello,

The official option is RFC6186:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6186

There is also Autoconfig for Mozilla Thunderbird, and Autodiscover,  for
Microsoft Outlook.

Thunderbird will return the parameters at an address like
http://autoconfig.example.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress

Outlook will send a POST query to a URL like this:
https://autodiscover.example.com//autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

They both return XML with the parameters, and a special subdomain.

I have implemented both for a custom mail server project, you can find
the link below:

See the roles with a matching name.

I might implement the first one later, it is just a matter of DNS records...
