How/where do you sign up for this?
I have linked the guide above.
Nice. Do you have a trick so that email that have been read on the mobile appear as read when downloaded using pop3?
That doesn't seem to work for me. Neither does their second method
At which step it fails?
Maybe I can help. When I fist set up my account it was quite tricky as well.
For the engineering feedback one it fails, saying "You are not eligible to buy this plan". That is after adding a custom domain, and adding a new Global Admin user.
The mail forwarding service was acquired by pobox.com, so it's with them now.
The benefit of self hosting is that you control the filters.. My M$ hosted email address for example has emails returned, "User Reported SPAM", for messages I have sent myself that never arrived in my Inbox, just deleted.
Yes, I see this as a benefit, too. It seems less likely to lose an incoming email, not more likely.
I was self hosting my email server on Hetzner dedi's back in 2021.
Used mailchannels(reseller) relay for outgoing, and incoming was proxied via mxguarddog.
Mxguarddog has 168 Hour Spooling, I went with them to not lose emails if my server goes down for a while.
Though their interface is really old, it works.
@jar what do you think about mxguarddog?
Fine as far as I know. All I know is DO NOT use junkemailfilter. They are pure cancer.
I'm curious, what's so bad about junkemailfilter?
They run a backup mail server that allegedly will hold email for you and deliver it to your primary MX later, if your primary MX is down. In practice all they do is blacklist every IP that connects to the backup mail server and declare everything sent to it as spam. I politely showed them proof of it and they just doubled down and got rude about it, so it's not ignorance at this point.
I use Yandex360 for privacy. I automatically forward these mails to Gmail for added privacy. I will add another Hotmail forwarding soon for redundancy. I will find a CN mail provider for geo-distribution.
Hosted and Self-hosted don't interest me.
Uses... Gmail and Yandex... for privacy. Hm.
try zoho. I think even Proton allows custom domains now.
How does inbox.eu stack up?
Proton does, but it's paid. It's rather expensive for what you get, but it's how the company has been able to stay alive I guess.
I was testing it out yesterday actually, it seems fine. Webmail isn't great, but they support SMTP/POP3 for your own email client which is good. It's cheap, and it seems to work.
nope.
Only hosted. Self hosted it s only pain
I was personally looking for a selfhosted solution, but it's just a headache and just wanted something fast so I went with MXRoute @jar and everything went seamless from there.
Why would anyone want to self host email unless they also self host their website?
I mean, this is a forum for low priced vps so people can host their websites and do other nerd things with it. What else are you going to do.
This gets my favorite post of the week award!
