#2Oh wow. This sounds awesome! About a year and a half ago I tried to set up my own mail server on a cheap VPS, but could not get it to work for the life of me. It's sort of a stressful thing to set up as well - failure is both high-consequence and invisible, and I'm never quite sure if what I'm doing is secure or correct. Count me as a fan of the idea - I'll try setting this up later!

#3A Docker image would be brilliant.

#4It would be nice if this could be ported to something like Ansible so that we could add more host targets easily (ie: Fedora, CentOS, Arch, etc).
Great job. Mail configuration is pretty hard in the number of steps and amount of configuration that needs to be done to get it right.

Would also be very nice if someone set up an auto-deploy such as the one Tinfoil did for VPNs: https://www.tinfoilsecurity.com/vpn/new

#7I'm going to have to try this out - I tried setting up a mail server once and failed because it was too difficult. Now I'm paying $30/year for service from NameCheap.

+1 for Docker image. Would make this even easier to deploy.

#9Very nice. Comes with Roundcube so you've got a webmail client available.
- DKIM signing on outgoing messages (opendkim).
- The machine acts as its own DNS server and is automatically configured for SPF and DKIM (nsd).

#10Please put a strong rate limit on the dns server to prevent it from being used for ddos attacks.
The last thing the internet needs is more clueless users with dns servers.
