Not difficult with amazing software like mailcow
I recently bought 18kg of rice hulls thinking "I'll always need rice hulls". The next batch I made didn't need any hulls, seems the maltster uses a coarser crush now....
This was recently covered in detail on my favourite YouTube channel. Such great content, check it out: https://youtu.be/SVoo3tcYdr8
It also needs clanking sounds from the hdd
I'm glad someone said it. Makes my eye twitch
The assumption is that prices will come down again. I suspect not :(
Cons: some knowledge of Docker is required A static IP is helpful but not a requirement If your ISP uses gcnat then that's a problem. Using a residential IP isn't great for reputation
Pros: It's a very well thought out system Very few bugs Excellent documentation Includes spam protection, webmail and a bunch of other features itjustworks
I self hosted email for years and it did take a fair bit of maintenance. Since moving to Mailcow all I have to do is keep it updated (subscribe to their telegram channel for updates) and that's it. It's never broken or needed maintenance other than that.
Mailcow is great and is completely free
