All the cool kids use libre! Is the postfix gang also a Linux gang though?

you can run it on pretty much any unix-like os, so it can be part of linux gang. unfortunately it’s not gpl though

Getting postfix/dovecot running has actually proven to be much more difficult than I anticipated. :(

I’m going to take another stab at it this weekend though.

Agreed. Thought everyone ought to run their own email server (if only it would be easy and exploit free).

Something like Mailcow or Mail-in-a-box probably make things much simpler, but I’m trying to set up a multipurpose Gentoo server without A: spinning up a dozen containers for email, or B: shelling out for a second VPS dedicated strictly for email.

I’m working with 2GB of RAM here. I’d rather keep the containerization to a minimum. I’d like to set up Gitea and deploy some customized software into containers, but I don’t want to containerize anything that ships with the distro if I can avoid it.

oh yeah it’s a complete pain in the ass. my setup was doubly painful because i decided it would be a good idea to do it from a residential ip address, so i have to run it through an ipv6 tunnel otherwise port 25 is blocked
