@cliffwade @beardedtechguy @protonprivacy You're a tech guy. You should be able to #RunYourOwnMailServer. Works for me.

Check out @mwl's book

Since I'm currently reading #RunYourOwnMailServer #RYOMS, the part about #DKIM reminded me about something I heard some time ago, and I managed to find it again. Concept somewhat similar to what #OTR does.

I'm reading #RunYourOwnMailServer #RYOMS by @mwl , and I'm thinking about what I know so far about #stalwart stalw.art/, and I can't figure what his opinion of it would be, I can see it going either way 😅
- "oh, nice, don't need to need with all those separate things and making them talk to each other"
- "eh, if it works for you, cool, I already have mine 🤷"
- "this abomination doesn't even follow Unix philosophy, I wonder what else it does wrong - no, I don't want to know"

Just ran accross today. I used to run my own postfix server many years ago.

Anyone else running their own email servers?

So I've finally started making my way through #RunYourOwnMailServer by @mwl

Even though I've read tutorials/articles/documentation of various bits and pieces over the years, I've always struggled to actually get any kind of fully functioning mail server. So far this book is doing a great job of demystifying all of the pieces and confusion I've had and bringing everything together. No doubt by the end of this I'll have a properly configured and functioning mail server.

@are0h
The conclusion I have landed on is that I must #selfhost email as well. I don't suppose you've written about you're experiences at all? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

I'm ordering a copy of #RunYourOwnMailServer, because it's been about 21 years since I've hosted email.

@homegrown the book by @mwl
#RunYourOwnMailServer seemed well prepared and comprehensive, if a little daunting at first(there are a lot of considerations when running a mail server after all). I haven't read it yet myself

I'm regretting not backing @mwl's #RunYourOwnMailServer Kickstarter when I had the chance. I've been seeing photos of paperbacks appearing through the letterboxes of various fedi users and I'm slightly jealous.

Might have to invest in a digital copy to stop the sad.

My copy of #runyourownmailserver by @mwl turned up and the alternative title is a doozy and 100% accurate 😁

A special edition of Run Your Own Mailserver called "Ruin Your Mail by Running it Yourself"

This arrived in my mailbox yesterday. My real world physical mailbox. A physical copy. This tickles me to no end.

Thank you @mwl I'm very much looking forward to reading this.

“Yes. Yes! That’s IT. We have backups instead of blasters, ping instead of parsecs, and df(1) instead of droids, but it’s the same sort of struggle. Okay, fine, planets don’t get blown up… yet.”

So, uh, with SORBS dead, who's still running a useful #DNSBL these days? NixSpam/Heise/Manitu? Who else?
