As am I. i don't forward through anyone. All working well, but the learning process did, as you alluded to, give me white hairs.

noted, thank you.

while we're here, any other tips i should keep in mind? what's your stack (if you don't mind sharing)?

[–] undrwater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL (MariaDB), postgrey, spamassasin.

Tips:

  • once you get it running, keep close control and be prepared to shut down when the spam hounds find you.
  • Do set up dmarc, dkim, and spf
  • Put your server on spamhaus.org
  • Don't start if you're feeling lazy, this will take a lot of mental attention.

I did mine before LLM's, so I can't comment how useful this will be, but I worry one might not understand the decisions made.
