GAMADV-XTD3 VS Mailcow

I'm going through this with a sub-org we own. Luckily, management mandated that it's their responsibility to un-f*** the mess they themselves created. If you can get buy-in from above, set the option to allow users to create their own shared drives, and have them start moving stuff over. Short of that, welcome to GAMADV-XTD3 amigo.

Use GAMADV-XTD3 to make sure you have the same contacts in both accounts.

Complex and free: Still, use a Google Sheet to manage the contacts that are to be shared, but use GAMADV-XTD3 to add them as Domain Shared Contacts. GAM can even be scheduled to read from the Sheet, so changes are pushed to DSC regularly.

I often reach for a 3rd party app for this use case. https://www.patronum.io/google-drive-management/ has some great features. GAT is another service that comes to mind > https://gatlabs.com/google-drive-management-security-and-auditing/ GAM is a cmd line tool if you're looking for something more in line with that: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3

For everything I don't build I use GAMADV-XTD3! :-)

You can delegate the mailbox to yourself using GAM, you can look into Google Vault, or you can create routing rules to route all those emails to an additional location like your email.

This companion script has the instructions how you use the API tool GAMADV-XTD3 to fix it.

In my collaboration with the developer of GAMADV-XTD3, this script was created.

I've been running mailcow [1] on a Hetzner cloud server for a few years and am pretty happy with it.

I have been searching for a self-hosted suite similar to Google Worksuite. I found the following: 1. Mailcow - https://mailcow.email/

Yes, I switched to mailcow (https://mailcow.email) and installed Roundcube via the excellent tutorial (https://docs.mailcow.email/third_party/roundcube/third_party-roundcube).

I've heard good things about mailcow

You can self host email if you really want to, but it's really more trouble than it's worth. If you do self host, you have to worry about the consequences of missed emails if your server or Internet ever goes down, and you'll have to use someone else's SMTP server if you don't want your emails to go directly to spam. The cheapest good SMTP server is Amazon SES, which I believe is $0.10 per 10k emails. I've been looking into mailcow for self hosting an email server and it seems the best way to go.

However, https://mailcow.email/ is the ONLY exclusion I make for that. As it's an all in one docker managed solution. Where the only things you have to worry about is the reputation of your mailing IP.

But its probably easier to use a dockerized container with all the mail stuff integrated and pre-setup like: https://mailcow.email/

If you're looking for a full solution that I haven't tried (due to resources) try: MailCow. Good luck.
