Comment on Good mail server for selfhosting
ikidd@lemmy.world 1 week agomxtoolbox.com will help a lot with making sure you’re configured correctly.
And look at Mailcow if you’re nervous about setting up another server, it’s bulletproof and mature.

I miss the old days, before you had to worry about spam.
I’m not OP, and I have everything set up fine now; Mailcow would replace what I currently have with the same software components, so I don’t see any value there - for myself.
Something like Maddy is completely at odds with the Unix philosophy, and yet I’ve fought enough with postfix to dislike it enough to want to try an all-in-one. I dread the DKIM setup, though; that took so much time, and the mail server configuration wasn’t the hard part. Maybe now I’ve got it configured for my domains, switching email server software will be easier.

Mailcow was effortless and I’ve never had to intervene in the stack. And after 20 years of fighting postfix and dovecot, that was a pleasant change. I can see why you’d want to try something different, but don’t expect it to be easy.
