iRedMail VS mox

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

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.

Pitching my own: https://github.com/mjl-/mox has a "mox localserve" subcommand that runs a mail server on localhost for testing, including a pedantic mode and special addresses that cause failure conditions you may want to test for. This is actually a full mail server (SMTP, IMAP and much more) and it comes with a webmail client. The "localserve" mode was just so easy to implement that I couldn't resist.

Just run your own mail server on a Pi at home and get your ISP to set up a PTR record for you, assuming you are on a static IP. Mox is good and outputs all of the instructions for DNS etc.:

I have setup a mail server (thank you mox ) hosted on VPS in Linode and everything seems fine: no issue on SPF, DMARC, DKIM records, the reputation of the domain and of the IP is okay and the IP is not in any blacklist. Unfortunately, Google and MS are rejecting my emails, even if I added the DNS records that they asked to add in order validate my domain.
