I am not sure what sort of Lambda function you are referring to, but an AWS lambda is dead simple compared to that maintenance page.

- taylorfinley 6y agoI currently run email on ~10 domains using one $5/month digital ocean droplet running Mail In A Box. Adding a new domain is as simple as pointing nameservers to my server and creating a user with an email address on that domain (which can be done with curl using a simple one-liner api call, or manually through the admin interface) MIAB handles provisioning ssl certs, mta-sts, dane tsla, verifying we're not blacklisted at spamhaus, configuring roundcube and everything else. My domains get ~5k incoming messages a day. Maintenance litterally involves sshing into the server and running apt update/upgrade once a week or so and could easily be done as a cron job.
- flippinburgers 6y agoIncoming is trivial. Outgoing is not in my experience.
- dinkleberg 6y agoReceiving emails isn’t the challenging part. If you’re sending out tens of thousands of emails keeping your domain reputation high so you actually end up in peoples inboxes is not trivial.
