Ask HN: What Mail Server Do You Use?
Hey Hackers,
I am looking to move some of my personal projects and portfolio site from WebFaction over to DigitalOcean. Right now I use WebFactions mail servers for a few of my custom domains.
And was wondering what you guys use for mail servers. Do you use a hosted mail server, or do you host your own? Free, Paid or open source? Any recommendations for a small scale email server to use?
Thanks guys!

- pdfcollect 13y agoAnyone knows if something like this exists for python?
- coreyja 13y agoSorry for the late response. But from looking at the Madrill site, it looks like the API is a RESTful API so you should be able to use it with Python. And also should be possible to build a Python wrapper for it. EDIT: And as I clicked on another link, it looks like they already have a Python wrapper built.
