      Thanks for making me realize that I literally don’t even need to be able to deliver to MS and I can just use my mailserver 😭

      As am I. i don’t forward through anyone. All working well, but the learning process did, as you alluded to, give me white hairs.

          Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL (MariaDB), postgrey, spamassasin.

          Tips:

          • once you get it running, keep close control and be prepared to shut down when the spam hounds find you.
          • Do set up dmarc, dkim, and spf
          • Put your server on spamhaus.org
          • Don’t start if you’re feeling lazy, this will take a lot of mental attention.

          I did mine before LLM’s, so I can’t comment how useful this will be, but I worry one might not understand the decisions made.
