Hey #Sysadmin|s of the fediverse, I want to ask you for some recommendation, I want to get rid of my old and molden mailsystem.
I just need Mail for a couple accounts and domains for myself and some friends. Would be nice to have a WebGUI, but is not a must.
Woohoo! I finally got email working for darkmoon.social. Emails appear to be flagged as spam, so there's more work to do, but that's a major step forward. And it only took me 2 1/2 years to get it done.
I'm running the mail server locally because I apparently hate myself, and I don't need free time, but at least it doesn't cost any extra money.
#selfHosted #serverAdmin #mastodon #postfix
Well, after a lot of swearing… I *think* I have a Raspberry Pi 400 running #AlpineLinux … tethered to my 4G phone hotspot … acting as a crude WiFi router/bridge for my border router running #OpenBSD which is tunnelling to my OpenBSD VPS at Binary Lane.
Over that tunnel, I now have #Postfix on the home mail server, relaying over the VPN to #OpenSMTPD on the VPS.
Should be useful the day I have to leave Internode… but for now, it's bypassing the rather dead NBN service (thank-you #CycloneAlfred).
Why can't I get a Docker container (using docker-compose) to access Postfix running on the host on port 25? 
I must be missing something, obviously 
Any takers?
@mavu We use #postfix in #chatmail setup, and so does @doncow
It is well-documented and in our setup at https://github.com/chatmail/server there are only two small postfix configs.
I've Got Mail https://bonesmoses.org/2025/ive-got-mail/
Another DNSBL (antispam dns blocking list) shutdown, too much personal risks vs regulations and laws.
Because gdpr and nis2 backfire at small but useful projects like this.
Sad day, isn't it ?
Heads-up mailserver admins: remove ix.dnsbl.manitu.net from your postfix/spamassasin dnsbl
@antondollmaier I configured Postfix to reject all email from that TLD. It’s sent me nothing of value. #postfix #SelfHosted
#ProxmoxMailGateway 8.2 has been released (#Proxmox / #ProxmoxMG / #MailGateway / #ZFS / #OpenZFS / #SpamAssassin / #Postfix / #PostgreSQL / #Linux / #Debian / #Bookworm / #DebianBookworm) https://proxmox.com/
#fedihelp , please: I'm #selfhosting #dovecot and #postfix and running out of disk space with my mails reaching back into last century. I'd like to remove the oldest ones and keep an archive of any kind on a different host. What would be the easiest way to achieve that?
Maybe just imap-sync to some special maildir?
Edit:typo
Considering to migrate off #Google and other US #bigtech dependencies since they seem to get stuck deep in #Trump|s asshole. What is supposed to be the "gold standard" replacement for self hosting a tiny OSS mail server (own domain, 4 accounts, IMAP + mobile + web client) these days? Long years ago I've used #postfix + #dovecot. Is still still the way to go?
Are you #selfhosting an #email server?
I just published an updated #Docker image for #Postfix 3.10.1, based on #archlinux.
The email server is fully customizable via Docker mounted volumes for usage on a Virtual Private Server (#VPS). Just use the Docker registry provided by the project. 
found #k9 #Android or #thunderbird #Windows11 email client had expired #certificate error and would not download emails so I restarted dovecot on Linux server and error stopped #dovecot #postfix #certificate #error #linux certificate had been updated but Dovecot had not synced @thunderbird
Software that just works: #monit has been running for years, only sending me messages when something has triggered. I had forgotten it uses #postfix to deliver mail. I didn't know I had a mail server anymore :-). #Apache2 needed a restart after 8 years or so (haven't checked, maybe it is just 5), there was a memory leak somewhere.
trying to set up a #mail server with #postfix and #dovecot. so far other devices don't want to connect to dovecot, and while I can send emails, gmail specifically refuses to accept them.
Now I don't know if my settings are wrong, or if they are right and gmail is just needs more time to see my dkim and spf settings are correct.
