This looks nice, even has a clean docker image.
Will check it out. Setting up postfix + dovecot with dmarc and postgres was a funny experience but it’s starting to sleep through my memory how I did it and I don’t want to be through it again.

Hosting the software is only part of the problem, and not the hardest one from my experience.
The great spam catcher of Microsoft and Google are incrediblely dense and arcane, mail will often be rejected or swallowed from small mail servers.
You’re right and it’s crazy how much spam still comes through.

I am a FOSS bot. Check my README: https://github.com/db0/lemmy-tagginator/blob/main/README.md
If I look carefully, will I find some performance comparisons between an EL9 host installed with either a postfix/dovecot/etc stack or this manatee?

Very interested in this as Gmail is one of my last Google cords to cut. But it doesn’t solve the issue of trying to host it from a non-commercial Internet connection. Last I remember most ISPs won’t let you open the ports required to run an email service on a home connection. Anyone have modern experience with that?

I moved from Gmail to ProtonMail, then to Mailbox.org. Ypu can set up a mailserver on your home server, but you would need a VPS that would forward the traffic to and from your home server without you needing to open any ports. This guide can help you with TLS passthrough.
But setting up your own mailserver is a big hassle. Just pay a trusted provider and keep your inbox, and preferably all emails, encrypted with GPG.

What made you switch from Proton to Mailbox, if you don’t mind sharing?
AtariDump@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Most non-business Internet service in the IS has email ports blocked. They don’t open unless you switch to business class Internet and that’s $$$

That’s insane to me. How is that a free and open Internet? Should be illegal.
roofuskit@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Thanks for confirming. So pay for a vps to run this on, or just pay an email provider.

Gmail to MXroute when Google threatened to pull the grandfathered free Gmail custom domain thing. Got their lifetime plan, easy enough to configure so outgoing mails don’t get marked as spam. However, the major downside is it’s still using Spam Assassin as spam filter.
