Leister Mailserver with PostgreSQL

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 16:34:00 +0100

For several years I’ve managed my own mailserver for the simple reason that it provides the freedom I desire. Mainly because I think that mailboxes out there are pretty expensive and I’m managing mail accounts for other people as well. The downside of having your own mailserver is that you have to maintain it yourself, so be aware of what you’re getting yourself into. Even though I already had my mailserver going I stumbled upon a tutorial from Thomas Leister ( https://thomas-leister.de/mailserver-debian-buster/ ) which is a pretty good one. It’s especially helpful if you intend to learn more about the technical backgrounds of used technologies. This tutorial introduced me to RSpamd which I consider to be way better than SpamAssassin (easier configurable and it provides a nice frontend to monitor the scoring of emails).
