Yeah, I've found similar issues with even basic tasks like 'draft an email response' which will then populate a md file tagged as draft. Claude will then chastise me a few days lat…

Yeah, those are similar but narrower scope tools. They do one thing, sit behind a firewall, listen on port 25 and forward SMTP submissions to sendgrid/mailgun's endpoint using an A…

No, Posthorn is outbound only. DMARC aggregate reports come back as inbound mail to whatever address you put in your rua tag and Posthorn has no inbox or IMAP to receive them. Pars…

Awesome! Let me know how it works for you and feel free to open an issue on GitHub!

If I'm understanding it right, protonmail-bridge exposes an IMAP and SMTP interface to your local mail client so that if you want to use something like Outlook or Apple Mail to tal…

Awesome. This is helpful, thanks. You're doing my market research for me! Seems like most setups only really need 2-3 channels, rather than the ~140 supported by Apprise. Definitel…

Yeah, this is a good point I should probably make a bigger deal out of in the documentation. I also have it automated with docker compose/ansible so it just deploys with the apps t…

> If I just wanted to enable a few services I'd use AWS or whatever But then you'd be using AWS for those services too. I think there's a meaningful gap between folks who are willi…

Nice. Sounds like a neat way to get the best of all worlds. Self hosted email without exposing your IP, leverage a third party with an existing trusted send reputation but still ma…

Fair. I was trying to convey self hosted benefits without the downside of hosting your own MTA. I was also really in my head on the niche and assumed everyone else would get it fro…

Haven't used Apprise, but it looks interesting! My current plans are for Posthorn to stay focused on email. There's enough work here that I think it justifies a dedicated tool. I h…

Fair. Don't disagree with anything you're saying here. I should probably tighten up that line. What I really meant to say is that the average self-hoster who just wants to enable a…

Two things to unpack here: 1) Posthorn doesn't host email - no inbox, no IMAP so it doesn't replace what it sounds like all-inkl is doing for you. All it does is take the outgoing …

Nullmailer's a good call for a single-app use case. It's basically what I was doing. Posthorn ended up the way it did because I had three different things all hitting Resend at the…

Correct, but not all apps can talk directly to an HTTPS API. Ghost, Gitea, Mastodon, NextCloud, Authentik, Matrix to name a few all only have built in SMTP support. Posthorn listen…

Not intentionally, but TIL that this turned into an apt reference. The pynchon connection is excellent. My (intentional) reference was to the older mail courier horn.

Personal mail is the one case I think where hosting your own MTA still makes sense when you want to own the addresses and the data. You still have to solve for deliverability, whic…

Introducing Posthorn, a self hosted email gateway. One docker container (or Go binary) between every self hosted app on your VPS and your transactional email provider. Set up Posth…

This is really cool. I'll be checking it out! Seems to solve most of my issues with my current workflow. My primary personal development machine is my WSL ubuntu install on my wind…

Outside of the day job (PM at an enterprise SaaS company), I've been building an AI-native CLI for Todoist [1]. Started to solve a personal problem, automating action item extracti…

Disclosure: I'm a PM at ServiceNow. Opinions my own. High. SoR systems tend to either be where or are closely tied to wherever the work is being done. It's an incredibly disruptive…
