I just installed a new battery on my test email server. Unlike the battery that’s close to absolute zero, the battery for my email server progressively lost capacity until it got to the point where it wouldn’t charge.

Can someone recommend me a mail provider with the following features:
- I can keep the domain(s) with my current registrar
- Some means keep the cursed historically grown sub-addressing using + and - working (user1@, user1+tag@, user1-tag2@ all to the same mailbox - there is no list of all used tags). Simple catch-all wouldn't work since there is more than one user.
- ideal the possibility to reject mails for a given "complete" local part (e.g. when that website where it had been entered has been hacked and only spam uses that address including the tag nowadays)
- EU/DE (company and server location)

Currently I postpone too much renovating my mailserver, so I was thinking if I can delegate that completely.

@stalwartlabs first of all - I really like Stalwart - it's really well done and I haven't had any problems so far - thanks for that!
I was just wondering, is there a way to greylist mails above a certain spam score instead of all?

Weekend over, 2 mailservers migrated from dovecot to Stalwart…
@stalwartlabs please don't break stuff
#SelfHosting #mailserver

That whole #dovecot breaking update (and from what I've seen the unreasonable pro version, at least for small setups) makes me question self-hosting my mail server…
I'm fine with investing time to setup something the first time - but updates (especially not minor) should never be breaking… - neither should they require quiet some time investment imho…

Since Dovecot 2.4 is dropping replication, I'll definitely need to rework my mail servers and those for BSDMail. I think I'll be going back to Cyrus, which I last used over 20 years ago. The problem is my memories have long faded, so it'll be like studying it again from scratch. And that makes me happy, because it'll be like learning something totally new!

Special thanks to @h3artbl33d for the heads up!

Die Domains "klimail.de" & "klima-mail.de" suchen ein neues, #klimafreundlich|es Zuhause. Das alte Projekt wird leider beendet, wir würden uns freuen, wenn sie anderweitig im Sinne des #Klimaschutz|es weiterentwickelt werden könnten. Die Domains können einzeln oder zusammen übernommen werden, schreibt uns einfach, was ihr damit machen möchtet.

This weekend's project:
Replaced my #Postfix #MTA #mailserver with a new one. I had been running a #Ubuntu based one since 2020, and it didn't deal well with an in-place upgrade.

New machine set up on #Debian 12, with a bunch of tips stolen from @mwl 's book Run Your Own Mail Server and from https://workaround.org/ispmail-bookworm/

If anyone out there runs a #Plesk server, check to see if your have a ton of emails stuck in your mail queue. There was a problematic email security update that got applied within the past 12 hours that caused mail queues to stop processing both incoming and outgoing email.

Fortunately, it's an easy fix.

So, last night I finally took the last step and switchted my DNS entries to my own self hosted mail server (@mwl your book was really helpful - great work!)

But now I am back to my previous problem - which mail client to use on iOS and macOS - any suggestions fediverse? (boosts are quiet welcome)
#selfhosted #email #mailserver #ios #macos

Falls hier jemand sonst noch #Mailserver bei #Hetzner betreibt, und DNSBLs von #Spamhaus verwendet: Schaut mal in eure Logs, ob ihr wegen Spamhaus nicht gerade alle Mails ablehnt.

Ich hab das bei mir gerade nur gemerkt, weil mir eine nette Person auf Mastodon geschrieben hat...

Der eine Euro monatlich für ein @mailbox_org "Lite" E-Mail Konto ist seit ca 10 Jahren eins der besten Abos, die ich tätige.

Der Service funktioniert nicht nur super zuverlässig, sondern Mailbox.org hat die absolute Inhouse-Erfahrung mit Mailservern - das sieht man immer wieder an Slides, die durch das Internet geistern oder Präsentationen auf den hiesigen FOSS Veranstaltungen. Was ich sagen will: Man fühlt sich gut aufgehoben.

Kürzlich hat Lastschrift bei mir nicht funktioniert, aber kein Problem: Man hat mich freundlich (nicht vorwurfsvoll!) kontaktiert, mir einen Monat Laufzeit geschenkt und gebeten, die Bankdaten zu fixen.
