iRedMail VS blame.email

Handling lots of production email for hundreds of domains for the past 10 years on https://www.iredmail.org/

If you have a better solution, for example a good provider who offer agency packages which allows many domains and there is no catch, for example very small disk space, then hit me right away. Otherwise, please share your experience with hosting your own mail service. I found https://mailinabox.email/ and https://www.iredmail.org/ for example, but never had any experience with neither of them.

I use iRedMail

iRedMail : https://www.iredmail.org/ good for samll companies and teams (the free version still serve but with no send limtes)

Last suggestion is to use iredmail and maybe iredadmin-pro (paid) for mailbox servers. It's a roll-your-own solution but so long as you are very detail oriented, strict with policies, use change management, and use something like ansible, it can really help this email stack scale. Also would help with #4.

iRedMail. Free to use and basically trouble-free for me after some initial issues got worked out on my config.

Or host your email server. There is even services like r/VirtualMin & r/Webmin plus others like Mail-in-a-Box or iRedMail

https://blame.email/ is a website that does this. I wrote a Lua checker for rspamd that bypasses the spam filter if the address is "signed". I also have a bookmarklet that generates a signed address and inserts it into the current text field.

While it doesn't stop spam, I have been using a catch-all email system for a while now.

The benefit is that I know where someone got my email from, and I can then try to figure out whether the place has been compromised, or whether they're selling my email, etc. And I can just blacklist that particular address forever as well.

Previously, I just did [email protected], but I've switched to something similar to blame.email [1].

This makes my emails look a little weirder, but it has stopped the weird looks I'd get when walking into a physical place, like my doctor, and telling them "Yeah, email me at @.com".

It also makes it less obvious that its effectively a throwaway email, particularly combined with my domain; it looks fitting. And since each address is salted and hashed, it pretty much eliminates the risk of someone successfullying trying to phish me by sending me an email to something like `[email protected]`.

Lastly, on my HN profile and elsewhere, I've got my "email", but despite them being unique, I still don't want to have to rotate it if it gets picked up by a spambot, so I've tried to do some plaintext simple "obfuscation" like in the article.

I went for

~АТ~ . -- with the "AT" being Cyrillic rather than Latin - I figure at least some will get tripped up by not being able to use purely English regex.

So far, I have yet to receive any spam with that strategy. Maybe I'm lucky or just not getting indexed, or maybe it's working a little.

Just tossing this here for reference: https://blame.email/

id love to potentially also see something like https://blame.email/ implemented as an option for the above 2, so you can always work out the source.

Next time I ping you I'll have it fully implemented at https://blame.email :)
