Mitex LeoIf you want to self host email server, you can keep eye on these two projects:
1. Mox (written in Go): https://github.com/mjl-/mox
2. Stalwart (written in Rust): https://stalw.art

James Donaldson@ml @doncow I've been running #mailcow for a few years and very happy with it.

@jd Heard good things about it. Though I haven't tried it personally.
Shrini@tshrinivasan For this purpose, Postal (postalserver.io) is the recommended mail server. You have to follow some basic rules to not end up in a blacklist:
1. IP & Domain Reputation matters. Get the IP from a provider like Hetzner who blocks port 25 by default.
2. Only send to the people who really wants to receive your email.
3. Warmup your IP & Domain. Don't send bunch of emails in the beginning. Send only 100 in the first day, 120 in the second day .. continue like this.
@ml thanks. Will explore it.
I have a homelab server. Can I use it ?
@tshrinivasan It's not recommended to use a residential IP. You'll have to use a SMTP relay to avoid issues.
@tshrinivasan That's well outside my field of experience I'm afraid, but it looks like you've got some solid advice from @ml. I think you'll want to read up on list-unsubscribe headers too?
alexanderadam@ml I agree: especially @stalwartlabs is amazing on so many levels.
