Hi,

It had been twenty year that I stopped my couples of self-hosted email servers.. ( That did run on a 10 years span )

Now, I'm digging to relaunch one.. OMG the GAFAM etc... did well screw us !!

\ You’re right. It’s a mess nowadays with email hosting because Google for example just rejects everything except the other big services even if you comply with DKIM etc. Fuck them honestly

\ I guess what I mean is that even a single user email system is a pain.

Want to send an email from one person to another? Stupid easy, I can do that with a single command.

Want to be able to send messages over long periods (years) to friends/family AND clients AND prospective employers (who are probably running their own email system) AND various businesses that you are trying to get support or services from? Well, okay, but the more message

Hi,

I would like to host my own email server.

I know the pros and cons of doing so, please do not post about the advantage or disadvantage, there is others open topics for it.

I would like my setup fit those "requirements"

• FLOSS
• Be able to create complex rules for incoming/outgoing email ( with 🐍 Python language preferably ).
  • based on any properties (subject, ip, header, size, attachment, signed, encrypted, etc.. )
  • able to modify, delete, fw, etc... the email
• Manage the limit of sending by size and number of outgoing over time (min, hours, week, etc..)

 

If you know a matrix comparison between email servers I'm all ears.

If you have any feedback with a solution this is most welcome too.

I plan to update this post to create a matrix/spreadsheet of all the solutions that I'll gather.

Thanks.
