Tip for posters thinking of hosting their own mail

1

Signal

So yeah, as a learning experience, setup all the mail you like. For real world usage it’s not worth the hassle, and if privacy is your thing, use something entirely different, like Signal, or if it absolutely must be mail, use something like gpg4win / gpgtools, but then the hosting doesn’t matter, and it’s once again not worth the trouble :-).

mailcow

This is where Mailcow is the GOAT. I do email and security admin at work as well, and I personally use mailcow. It makes all of this so much easier to get going.
