How to run your own mail server (2017)

Re:How to run your own mail server (2017) by wvh on Tuesday November 19, 2019 @06:17PM (#21579416)

I run my own mail server for receiving, but send through a commercial provider (Fastmail). I also use user-sub@domain style email addresses. If I have occasionally have to send email from those addresses, I edit the From line in the Fastmail web interface or my email client.

I don't have a problem setting up a full email server, but I don't want to babysit it for just one person using it. I have too many real life obligations these days to try and fix the mess if a problem would arise.

Interesting! Maybe I should try doing the outbound via Fastmail or some other provider. I couldn't shut down my mail server entirely, but it might solve my deliverability issue.

I use postmark to do my delivery. They support outbound smtp that my internal postfix relays to and you pay per email even tho they gave me so many free credits I havent paid anything.

I was thinking about doing the same with mailgun. Do you have any obvious delivery issues with outgoing mail marked as spam?
