or start self hosting today

RE: https://mas.to/@alternativeto/116170689373236412

@yonle I was told nobody should self host mail

@kaia @yonle For business and personal email that needs to have actually working deliverability, self hosting can be a pain.

@phnt @kaia first rule when hosting a small or mid scale of email server: use opensmtpd. postfix if you're an absolute masochist

and apparently you guys are going the masochist route.

@phnt @kaia and so i use opensmtpd. it works, even though there's something a bit annoying (like mail delivery a bit slow due to no route. network dependant maybe)

@yonle @kaia Postfix/Dovecot is the easy part, you can even cheat with things like Mailcow and the new-ish all-in-one email solutions written in Go. It's the deliverability that is annoying to maintain. Are you in a bad IP space or inherited an IP that was used by a spammer, good luck getting that reputation back in a reasonable time. Have fun getting deliveries fully working to Gmail/O365 and not get dropped into spam at seemingly random times.

@phnt @kaia @yonle That's like complaining you shouldn't root your phone because McDonald's app implements Play Integrity.
