I don’t trust anyone to host my email for me, esp. cloud service providers where your data could be ANY…WHERE in the World. I trust ‘me, myself, and I’ sandwiched behind 3-4 firewalls.

I’m also using ‘ciphermail’ for sending/receiving encrypted emails, too for the more ‘sensitive’ material (nothing illegal; just proprietary projects and don’t want Google sniffing around).

It also helps that I ‘own’ (and I use that term very loosely) my IP addresses, so it kinda helps with reliability and veracity issues.

Agreed. I use Promox with Mailcow/SOGo. Works beautifully.

And people who think it’s a ‘one and done’ are gravely mistaken. It’s a constant monitor 'n tweak. Spam doesn’t resolve itself… 😉

I would second the vote on the creation of a Dockered setup that would allow for save configurations. I know many others who’d agree with me - many people (like me) just don’t have the time to futz around most times to staging up a small app such as tis.
