I made service that allows anyone with a domain to create their own private email server in less than 10 minutes: https://sealmail.net/ https://sealmail.net/ Using Postfix, Dovecot and PostgreSQL, you can read your mail securely via IMAPS on your phone and your desktop mail client. If your account gets hacked, you can just SSH into the server and reset your password yourself. No more getting locked out of your email account in an endless GMail password reset loop (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/HjW2Pj5Jqq4 https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/HjW2Pj5...)

Forgot the 'learn' part of it. Well here it is: Where there's a will there's a way. I kept getting stuck at different points trying to automate things. I kept persevering because I figure anything a human can tell a machine to do, it should be able to do it by itself somehow. I managed to jump over all the roadblocks and achieve a reliable way to recreate a mail server (which is a real pain) altogether with SSL certificates included.

  I see some people giving it a try; thank you! If you have any trouble please email me with feedback at the email listed on the homepage. People don't seem to make it past the DNS records though. Don't know if it's because they just looking around or they're having trouble. The DNS A record at a minimum is needed for SSL certs to be installed correctly. Even google hasn't been able to automate that part away :)

This is great. Is your backend open source? Could you share more about how it compares to mailinabox? [1] [1] https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox

  Thanks! Backend is not open source, but I'm thinking of shipping a front-end for server owners to administer their accounts. Have to figure out the security part of it though. I was thinking client side SSL certs. As to how it compares to mailinabox, this is pretty much the same, although it's lightweight with the bare minimum of Spamassassin, and anti-virus and supporting mail server software. Also, it 'makes' the box for you, rather than having you find your own hosting solution.
