I understand. For me this raises the question of who is the most secure and reliable registrar for a US citizen. The security of a self-hosted approach appears to be determined by the security of the
MX records, the self-hosted server security, and the IP security of the server.
With the increasing authoritarian tendencies of governments it seems worth considering since they can clearly pressure the big tech companies to access or hijack your email address.

- alchemist1e9 2y agoDefinitely and I assume learning all of those will provide enhanced security layers also. I’m looking into MarkMonitor as a registrar with advanced security systems.
- nobody9999 2y agoSorry for the late reply. I've heard good things about Mail-in-a-Box[0], but haven't used it myself (although I have/do use(d) a bunch of the servers/tools amalgamated into the product). The setup guide[1][2] also gives a good overview of implementation requirements. Have fun!

You might want to check it out first at https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox
- alchemist1e9 2y agoIt definitely seems doable. Another one is iredmail that has been mentioned. https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail
