[Question] Does anyone run their own email server?
All this new excitement with Lemmy and federation has got me thinking that maybe I should learn to run my own instance. What always comes up though is how email is the orginal federated technology.
I am looking at proxmox and see that is has a built in email server, so now I am wondering if it is time to role my own.
I stopped using gmail a long time ago, and right now I use ProtonMail, but I am super frustrated with the dumb limitation of only having a single account for the app. I get why they do it, and I am willing to pay, but it is pricey and I don't know if that is my best option. I guess it is worth it since ProtonVPN is included. It looks like they are expanding their suite.
Is it worth it? Can I make it secure? Is it stupid to run it off a local computer on my home network?

@[email protected] I do, it is a pain and I understand why it is not worth for some people.
This is way out of my comfort zone and I am firmly in the research phase, almost ready to make some decisions, but I need to carve out time to set it all up.
@[email protected] If it helps you, I started with https://mailinabox.email, which is incredibly easy to set up.
Right now I'm using https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver which I feel it is a bit trickier, but more escapable in the long term
This looks really solid. It looks like I have a couple options for Docker that seems to make life easier. Thank you for the suggestion.
