I would love to run my mail server self-hosted at home. I have a small N100 box that I would like to dedicate for this purpose.
Needs
- capability to handle a handful of domains
- each domain has at least one user (no more than a handful each)
- the ability for users to have multiple aliases
- relatively small amounts of email per day total (mostly incoming)
Concerns / Possible Mitigations:
- residential IP won’t work with SMTP
- I have a Vultr VPS I could use as a relay between the world and me (IP reports as clean on blacklist checkers [both IPv4 and IPv6])
Questions:
- Could I set up WireGuard between the home server and VPS then have that handle sending out the email?
- What software stack would I need? Would this be something like postfix to postfix or…?
Mailu or mail cow and smtp2go for outgoing. Don’t make a hard decision be harder than it needs to!
