Maddy: Composable all-in-one mail server in Go

I love MIAB, but their insistence that the mail server is also the primary DNS server for any hosted domains is beyond irritating.

I don't think "insist" is the right word here. They certainly push for it but they also make using your own DNS really easy.

You can just head over to the "External DNS" page where MIAB will tell you what DNS entries you need and what each entry does. Then you just copy the DNS entries you need.

You're right; I was being too broad in my critique.

Intellectually, I don't like domain DNS on the same box; practically speaking? It works and works well -- so well that it's often easier to disable per-domain DNS where my sites are hosted and just point A records over to the sites from MAIB.
