OpenSMTPd is simple enough to setup on your own. No need for gigantic ‘dockerized’ email packages where it is virtually impossible to understand what is going on.
I was a mail administrator for around 10 years in a fairly small business and I can’t imagine why anyone would want to host their own email. My old employer contacted me because a system I had built finally died and they wanted to build a new one. Once I got over the shock that they had still been using it I suggested going with a hosted solution. I mean they’re relatively cheap for good service and avoids a world of…
resisting mass surveillance
Also, whatever value Clinton saw in self-hosting.
Why did whoever think #FFFFFF text on the #000000 background is a good idea?

I assume it was to prevent FOIA requests which is not a big risk for the majority of us.

But i want imap too, and a web-mail, oh and a Calendar and contact (with team-functionality) too, synchronize them to my phone, and i want sieve functionality, anti-spam, and because it's written a pseudo antivirus-solution. And a self-service solution so users can reset the password with 2FA...still easy?
The typical spf record has ip addresses, blocks of ip addresses, or hosts but I don’t think just v=spf1 mx ~all.
Downsides: ui starting to show its age. No container support.
Not to nitpick but I think that the part about the spf record isn’t that great. The typical spf record has ip addresses, blocks of ip addresses, or hosts but I don’t think just v=spf1 mx ~all.
If you use a third-party hosting service for webmail, IMAP, etc, where they might also handle outgoing for particular clients, or for hosted outbound services (EasyDNS offers this), then you would usually "include:" their SPF records rather than copy their rules and addresses.
Theoretically, hardcoding some addresses might be useful as a performance optimization or failsafe, but I'm not sure the value is that great, and it adds to the workload and disruption risk if and when you have to move networks. But maybe the value is greater than I'm aware.

Maybe you should turn your brightness down or add some more lighting in your room? Pure white shouldn't be blinding you.
