emailwiz VS maddy

I am running a set of SBCs, but I read that it is better to use one server [1]. I suppose one could go with a VM, or portainer, or Yacht, or some other software to visualize everything.

Right now I am using a set or solutions:

* email * [2]

* files * using NextCloud

* blog * using Hugo

* news * using my own RSS reader

* pihole * to filter things

What I consider to use in the future

* pictures * using photoprism

* citadel * I found some sort of suites like citadel. Not sure if that works, if it is good, or if it fits my needs at all [3]. At the first glance seems like a fun project.

All in all it is time consuming to setup up, and update regularly.

Script

Host your own

I have never got my IP on blacklist and my emails are always getting delivered. There is always more work to put on security and make sure everything is secure, you will always have someone who is trying to brute-force and so on but there is tools like fail2ban and so on, but start with some basics setup, here is one link to scripts that can do 90% of the work this guy has a tutorial on youtube https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz

I have my own email server I used emailwiz to set it up. I also used dynadot for a domain name registrar. I switch from epik to dynadot but when I send an email I get this error in postfix

Just did the https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz

It's interesting how there is now

* Maddy: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy

* Mox: https://github.com/mjl-/mox

* and Stalwart

which all see to aim for more or less the same niche. I wonder if we'll see two of those merge eventually.

Does anybody run maddy (https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy) in production or for personal matters?

Yeah, that's a bummer. If you need the docs, then its here.

I've been using maddy mail server as it's quick and easy to setup for over a year now

Both my home server and VPS have unattended upgrades with email notifications about faliures that override do not disturb on my phone. acme.sh has automatic TLS renewal configured with systemd. Maddy mail server itself runs on Docker that is also set up with systemd to automatically restart and start at reboots. When it comes to updating Maddy i just keep an eye on the release Atom feed and change the docker compose file and restart the container.

I wonder how does it compare to Maddy mail server: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy

If you want to self hosted, I strongly recomend https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy since it's just a single binary to run.

If you still want to do it on your own, there is Go simple mail server - maddy where you can borrow some code or simply use it for the purpose as a IMAP server (I mentioned above, but dovecot as IMAP probably would be the best)

https://github.com/emersion has great libraries related to emails, for example go-imap. https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy is an email server written in Go that you could look into.
