#OpenBSD 7.9 has been released ( #BSD / #NetBSD / #386BSD / #Unix / #LibreSSL / #OpenSSH / #OpenBGPD / #OpenSMTPD / #OpenNTPD / #OpenIKED / #rpkiClient / #mandoc ) https://openbsd.org/

Ah, we've been Lobstered! https://lobste.rs/s/qmvgke/opensmtpd_is_mail_server_for_future #opensmtpd #openbsd #saneemail #email #freesofware #libresoftware

Thanks to #opensmtpd and #OpenBSD and #openbsdamsterdam my mail server setup just got better. Now I have a working smtp (dkim rspamd SPF dmarc ptr) relay and IMAP frontend that brings the connections with #wireguard to my main mail server. First tests indicate that I don't need external relays anymore. Setup was fun, documentation was perfect.

OpenSMTPD Is The Mail Server For The Future https://nxdomain.no/~peter/time_for_opensmtpd.html Migrating to OpenSMTPD from exim on OpenBSD was joyfully painless and smooth. #openbsd #opensmtpd #email #smtpd #rspamd #spam #antispam #greylisting #greytrapping #mailserver

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' OpenSMTPD to 7.8.0p1 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31850

2 of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK!

One of them failed with another wtfh:

Last time I ran into some GitHub CI BS? It seemed to resolve itself (maybe some other MacPorts person kicked something? I dunno). Anyway, hopefully something similar will happen there.

Regardless, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

Wow it is easier than i remember to get opensmtpd to
relay through a typical smtpd server (like your email
providers) !

yay :P

#openbsd #opensmtpd

I put my #mailserver setup with #opensmtpd on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/davd/docker-opensmtpd-mailserver in case anyone wants to set up something similar and wants to reference configs, etc. #selfhosted
