Yes go self host email, I'll wait
Try stalwart, fresh 1.0 release from last week. Modern jmap and easy to setup selfgenerated dns-zonefile.
Setting up the servers and services is the easy part
Oh, I've done it.... Won't do it again, but I have done it.
Legitly the only way i would ever dare to even attempt self hosting email again is in 20 years when ai can do it entirely for me using the power of a single AA battery. No sane person self hosts email!
I self host email. Actually, I run a publicly available email service from my office, so…
no, but many of us have done it in the past and I do have all the DNS stuff already setup -- It might work if I did it now, but spam is a ever growing mountain
No sane person uses generative AI.
Email is pre-installed with YUNOhost (Debian-based server distro), in case anyone is interested. I have it installed on a cheap VPS and highly recommend it.
