I host my own mail server with mailcow and it’s easier than ever
Long gone are the days of manually configuring postfix
mailcow seems to be pretty nice, thanks for introducing me to this. I have to admit that the 800MB RAM minimum requirement makes my eyes water slightly.
Still, nothing a Pi can't handle
You’re welcome! I also heard about another project which is much simpler but I can’t remember its name. At least mailcow makes it easy to configure the different fields and has a nice web client
Yea, mailcow does require a bit too much but it’s well made and you can disable features to reduce RAM usage
I imagine 800MB is without the antivirus checking and search improvements
