Please, just don’t. It’s pain in ass

just_another_person ,

You are asking for a world of pain here.

merthyr1831 ,

don’t.

This is a can of worms, but you’re probably looking for something like Postfix. Running your own mail server is complicated. You need to set up SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and make sure outbound traffic on port 25 isn’t blocked. You need to check if your IP is on any block lists. You can do that here:

I self host my email. I was hard work to set up. 0/10. Would not come again.

I second this comment. It’s been a long time since I set one up and it was a pain. And from what I can tell it’s only gotten harder.

ErwinLottemann ,

i self host my mails for almost 20 years now, it was hard work in the beginning, now it’s just a few updates a year. no problem with blacklists or anything, a good hoster is probably beneficial, 10/10 would recommend, even just to learn how all of this works

That’s true. I did learn a lot, but the idea of setting it all up again gives me anxiety.

You don’t need a mail server to send emails

Use an smtp smart host like smtp2go

+1 to this worked for me, only issue was they block common free emails (like gmails etc) from making accounts but porkbun made it super easy to make a email forward that worked!

Interesting how you use “simple” and “mail server” in the same sentence.

iarigby ,

This tool is for your use case. It comes with bonus privacy features like unique address for each service so they can’t cross track you

simplelogin.io

smileyhead ,

SimpleLogin is for mail aliasing, not transactional mail.

MHanak ,

I’d advice against it, aside from spam filters, and it being a general PITA, there is a chance your ISP will block any outgoing mail traffic (in my case orange blocks it)

Humorless4483 OP ,

Which orange ? I’m with orange Belgium.

cvf ,

All you need is a local smtp server that relays to another, “real” smtp server. I have a postfix that is configured to use the Proton smtp servers (before that it was Googles). No issues on Telenet.
