Also I had to migrate my email service at $job out of the cloud and back into our premises. An article about the software stack I used to deploy the new email service should hit Linux Magazine or ADMIN Magazine one of these months.

I've done that a few times. All depends where I want my email. Mostly I don't like it out there for too long because .. its just not safe.

Linux Mag, or Admin mag, ... nice! I've made it to linux mag once long ago in early 2000s.

Take care Arelor

... A social life? Where can I download that!?

I think that, the way it is designed, the contents of email messages themselves are nearly public information :-P

What I like of operating my own email servers is you get access to the logs and to the necessary tools for doing your troubleshooting. It is much better than using a managed email service and having to open a ticket with them every time there is an issue.

long time ago I used to be able to send email using my own server, but then block lists came out, and I got put on a spam list for not having a proper domain.

Then after awhile my ISP refused to let out the email.

Its become a bit of a mess. I haven't wanted to setup MX records on my domain.

I though I read on the echos someone would let anyone register their domain with them. I'll have to search for that if I feel like self hosting again. Before I do any hosting I need to figure out how to segment my systems. I've been thinking of buying a netfu system with pfsense on it and setup a single raspberrypi on one of the ethernet ports so I can totally keep the rest of my devices off the public networks.

I hope your doing well Arelor.
