Curious if you looked into other mail server options? I mean Postfix (not Postgres) easily handles the load of a single user, but it is still rather hard to configure and modify.
I recently started to work with Haraka and even thought its ment for high traffic use cases i wont ever look back to Postfix (not Postgres).
- Torgo 9y agoOpenSMTPD is by far the easiest to configure, and has very secure default settings. It works very good for a single user server.
- j_s 9y agos/Postgres/Postfix/ ?? In any case you should ask the author, as they are currently active on another discussion where they linked their article in a comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16238501#16238845 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16238501#16238845 >perlgod: I've spent years tweaking my mail server setup (Postfix, Dovecot, RSPAMD, LDAP...) and did a full writeup a few months ago. I've used other guides online but found most of the rest lacking on details
- herbst 9y agoOh ha, i figured it must be you i just saw the comment before. And yes, damn it. Fixed
- jacobush 9y agoWow. I must have really been abused (likely) by other mail servers to consider Postfix easy then.
- bstamour 9y agoMe too. Sendmail and his friends did unspeakable things to me.
- herbst 9y agoGiven my first real Postfix experience was a scaleable forwarding service that is supposed to support a variation of configs without breaking the config file. Postfix is super easy, and well documented for normal use cases.
