After about four hours of email server setup I'm sitting here with a citadel setup, not being able to login, Google didn't help, I'm fucking done with this shit

    Seriously mate, only people that hate themselves run their own email servers nowadays.

    @linuxxx I go with plesk to set my emails up. Under the hood it just uses dovecot and postfix. In any case hit me up if you need help

    @Data-Bound I would but we have a policy (security reasons) to only use open source software where possible but thanks for the offer anyways!

    @linuxxx in that case go with postfix and dovecot

    I love Mailgun if you want to automatically send emails.

    Trying out iRedMail currently and the setup isn't failing for once, thanks for the suggestions though, guys, I'll keep them in my mind!

    @drRoss OR people who want to learn and not be dependent on cloudy shit. ;)

    @sdoering No no, just people that hate themselves!

    Seriously, DIY mail servers are a nightmare. Can you honestly tell me you can do it better than Microsoft or Google?

    @drRoss No I won't do it better. At least not me personally.

    But I would learn a lot in the process. Develop a better understanding of the tools I use and would be able to at least say: I learned something really interesting.

    I don't do everything I do when I am sure I know it better - I also do things to learn something new once in a while.

    Just because there is a Gmail doesn't mean we should forget how to do shit ourselves and keep such knowledge within our community of technologically savvy people alive.

    @sdoering True, but you said you were going to sell this platform to people, so their data will now be your responsibility.

    @drRoss never said that. How were you be able to read that into my postings?

    Wouldn't do such thing.
