My first E-Mail server
My first E-Mail server
I just set up my first ever email server and I'm proud of myself! 😊 Do you have any advice to avoid common problems? I mean something beginners often do that they shouldn't. Thanks!

Let's hear the details! How did you do it?
-
Docker container with exposed ports. The container has postfix and rspamd for spam mitigation and some useful scripts for postfix management such as creating accounts, wiping data etc. Actually it comes preconfigured, the only thing you have to do is:
- configure environment variables so it meets your needs
- generste dkim key and set is as DNS record
- set revDNS to the IP address
- setup SPF (which is one, short DNS record)
-
-
Of course! It's called docker-mailserver. It has extensive documentation, so it all becomes easy! 😃

On a VPS, as my provider does not allow me to set the revDNS which is required for sending emails. I mean it isn't actually required but most services like Gmail will drop your emails.
