I've had a lot of discussions with technical-minded peers about how the only real options for email on your own domain are fastmail or gsuite, which work out to about the same amount of money for a family of 5+, which is a surprisingly large amount (imo worth it). This looks like something worth combining with alps[0] for easy self-hosted email. I might give it a go and ditch gsuite! [0] https://git.sr.ht/~migadu/alp…

With mailcow [0] it's pretty simple to setup your own email server in about half an hour with all the security included and having your email not being treated on reception as spam. It also ships with a webmail interface (SOGo [1]), rspamd UI and an admin interface for your server. I used to be a Kolab [2] user and "promoter" for many years but the project seems stalled a bit recently and although it is still being w…

alps was created by the same person who started maddy, by the way. It is not me. Just wanted to give a little tribute to the amazing person who put a lot of work into email libraries for Go: https://github.com/emersion/

Not sure if Maddy covers this use case specifically (I didn't see it covered in the documentation, but I figure it actually is possible). I'm hoping to use a Golang-based application as a simple SMTP Relay, which also allows for ranges of IP addresses to be whitelisted to connect openly to it from within our campus network. Basically, the scenario is as follows: a number of internal services are older and may not sup…

I recently set up simple standard setup (postfix/dovecot/spamassassin) and it works fine. There's small amount of spam, like few mails per week, nothing to worry about. I can receive and send mail just fine. Though I admit that for someone who did not tinker with UNIX for years, configuring this kind of setup might be daunting. Personal mail could be solved by some kind of daemon which provides SMTP, IMAP, built-in s…

I've been running my own mail servers for ~15 years and yes you can run your own, but the biggest issue I've run into is other servers blocking me as spam: https://battlepenguin.com/tech/how-google-and-microsoft-made... I still prefer to host my own though.

There’s also Zoho Mail: https://www.zoho.com/mail/ — starting at €10.80/user/year.

I've been testing zoho mail for the last few months (in order to find a decent alternative to g suite, and not-so-expensive as fastmail)...and so far, zoho has been performing quite well. I certainly can not complain about the price; as i'm able to use their "lite" plan at $12 per user oer year.

I've been using a docker mail server[0] pre-configured for years without issues. I switched from DigitalOcean to Vultr and finally landed on Hetzner. Always had no issues delivering or receiving messages from/to the big guys. I'm also addicted to watchtower[1] to keep it automatically updated without hassle.

I moved from DigitalOcean to Hetzner, and Gmail started marking all my emails as spam, most likely due to bad IP reputation. I moved to Zoho Mail [0] (at €10.80/user/month), which doesn’t have problems like these, and requires less work to manage. [0]: https://www.zoho.com/mail/
