Nothing in here for email sadly. I think we’re giving up on self-hosted email.

Yes, life is too precious to self host email. Get a reasonably secure provider and don’t put super sensitive information in it. Better channels for that type of information anyway.

  It's not as hard as you make it to be. The initial setup but then it's just OS updates, rarely a major version configuration adjustment, nothing wild. Postfix Dovecot Postgres ezpz I also use milter rspamd opendkim UI is vimbadmin, but I'm working on writing a drop in replacement for it in Go. I'll release it open source once it's ready, likely also a setup script for the whole deal. And with this you can be pretty sure no one eavesdrops. And then install Delta Chat to have a messenger-like workflow.

I've recently found mxroute.com , next best thing to self hosted

  Honestly, way better than self hosting if you're not an absolute expert in that field. I am a customer for years and Jarland is a legend when it comes to superb email delivery.

maddy.email could be a good addition

I run my own email server with Postfix, Dovecot, Rspamd, Roundcube webmail, and a Sqlite database. I use it for my personal mail along with some clients. It was quite easy to setup by following this guide: https://workaround.org/ispmail/buster/ https://workaround.org/ispmail/buster/. There's also an ansible playbook by the author to automate all of that for you. Other solid solutions include Mail-in-a-box and Mailcow. DuckDuckGo them to learn more. A lot of people say that you shouldn't waste your precious time hosting email. Then, these same people won't hesitate to spend countless hours browsing Pornhub or Netflix and playing video games. Forget about these losers and roll your own email for fun. The last thing you want is to be on your deathbed regretting not having had your own personal mail server.
