Project mention: Ask HN: Replacement for Rackspace SMTP Hosting? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-03
Made the switch to self-hosted https://mailu.io (on k8s) 2 years ago when Gandi announced the deprecation of their free plan.
Happy after IP was off most blocklists, but setup was kinda rough - https://mxtoolbox.com is your friend.

Project mention: Ask HN: How do you manage the risk of losing access to email address? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-07
Here's how I do it:
* Buy your own domain, (Through a reputable register that has existed for a long time (enom; joker; namecheap; was).
* Host DNS through a 3rd party (Cloudflare in my case)
* Use Fastmail for email hosting on my custom domain
* Run a nightly cronjob using offlineimap (https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap) to sync all hosted email to my local NAS.
This protects me from:
* Fastmail bans me: I'll pay for email hosting elsewhere, update DNS records, and upload all my backed-up email.
* DNS host bans me: I'll move to a different DNS host.
* Registrar bans me: I'm a little fukked; old emails are backed up, but new emails would be tricky. Though, this is much less likely
* House burns down: Buy a new house and NAS and redownload all my email.
* Nuclear war: I'm dead and email doesn't matter anymore.

email-oauth2-proxy
An IMAP/POP/SMTP proxy that transparently adds OAuth 2.0 authentication for email clients that don't support this method.
What makes you say the protocol is different for each provider?
I maintain a proxy that transparently adds support for OAuth 2.0 support to IMAP/POP/SMTP clients (https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy), and for normal use it doesn’t need to know anything about which service it is connecting to. Apart from advanced features such as CCG or ROPCG which are mostly O365 only, what is different?
