Something like Mailcow or Mail-in-a-box probably make things much simpler, but I'm trying to set up a multipurpose Gentoo server without A: spinning up a dozen containers for email, or B: shelling out for a second VPS dedicated strictly for email.
I'm working with 2GB of RAM here. I'd rather keep the containerization to a minimum. I'd like to set up Gitea and deploy some customized software into containers, but I don't want to containerize anything that ships with the distro if I can avoid it.
oh yeah it's a complete pain in the ass. my setup was doubly painful because i decided it would be a good idea to do it from a residential ip address, so i have to run it through an ipv6 tunnel otherwise port 25 is blocked
Getting postfix/dovecot running has actually proven to be much more difficult than I anticipated. :(
I'm going to take another stab at it this weekend though.
Agreed. Thought everyone ought to run their own email server (if only it would be easy and exploit free).
