• Ask HN: Self Hosting an Email Server?

  I've been using https://mailinabox.email on a small VPS where I host a few other websites and projects. I'd recommend it for the management aspect: It has backup scripts and a UI for let's encrypt and dns entries. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Sandstorm, Tempest, and the Future

  I don't see why we are a long way away. At the sandstorm end, we need to get to the point, where all updates (of both sandstorm and the apps) on the user machine are automatic. Much like they are automatic on various OSes (mobile OSes in particular but also MacOS/Windows). This is not impossible if a single OS like Debian-testing is targeted. Mailinabox [1] almost does it. They target Ubuntu stable, and upgrades... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

  If you have a better solution, for example a good provider who offer agency packages which allows many domains and there is no catch, for example very small disk space, then hit me right away. Otherwise, please share your experience with hosting your own mail service. I found https://mailinabox.email/ and https://www.iredmail.org/ for example, but never had any experience with neither of them. Source: 10 months ago

• VPS Personalized Email

  Very lightweighy email server that I use and recommend is https://mailinabox.email/ However, after installing it you cannot do any other modifications to the same server because it already configures a customised nginx server and other things, after each update it's not guaranteed that your changes will save. You can try deploying in inside docker environment though, or use other alternatives like mailcow, iredmail. Source: 12 months ago

  I've self-hosted my email for the last ~6 years, at first using mail-in-a-box; but more recently moving to a containerized poste.io instance. I don't have any issues with delivery; but it's likely due to how long I've been in existence. Source: 12 months ago
