  • Ask HN: What do you think about EUPL in comparison to other copyleft licences?
    Nodemailer author here. I now publish all my libraries/tools (like Nodemailer) under some permissive license (MIT, MIT-0, ISC). This gives the opportunity to use such a library without issues, and the end user never knows about these tools anyway. For example if I build a OSS software and commercial software that both use such library, then it is easier to manage it under permissive license - I don't want copyleft... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
  • Ask HN: Just got a brand new server, what do I do first?
    - https://wildduck.email/ (E-mail) Even though I have self-hosted things individually (eg: my Ghost blog on a RasPi connected to my home WiFi), something which I've always been concerned about is the separation of all these services, since they must have APIs and access rules. What's an ideal way of setting up a multi-service server like this, and what security policies should I implement.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • Self-hosted email is the hardest it's ever been, but also the easiest
    The largest WildDuck installation manages 100k+ email accounts with around 300TB of stored emails. So it does not always have to be one of the old and tried softwares. https://wildduck.email/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Email Done My Way, Part 0 ā€“ The Journey
    - Combine with [WildDuck](https://wildduck.email/)? [0]: https://vadosware.io/post/its-never-been-easier-or-harder-to-self-host-email/ [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32720234. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • The Case for Unique Email Addresses
    Or install https://wildduck.email or mail in the box type of server, just host it yourself. Wildduck web interface allows you to make unlimited alias already. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • What's the biggest missing piece of the puzzle in the self-hosted universe?
    I had noticed this/similar feature on wildduck mail server. Checkout the Advanced Security section there, might be what you are looking for. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Multi-threaded IMAP server
    WildDuck https://wildduck.email runs a fixed number of worker processes and all the connections are then distributed between those workers. Not exactly threading but not a single process per connection either. Full disclosure, Iā€™m the main developer of that project. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Modoboa ā€“ open-source email server
    There are some really interesting choices for F/OSS email servers these days. There are SMTP+IMAP: - maddy[0] (I use this) - chasquid[1] - docker-mailserver[2] And combinations: - haraka[3]/ZoneMTA[4] (SMTP) + wilduck[5] (IMAP) Modoboa brings something new in that it bundles together the frontend but I'm very happy with Thunderbird (and there are other frontends like Sogo) -- the competition is stiff and modoboa... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
