Recently set up email with #opensmtpd #dovecot , and #rspamd on #FreeBSD jails thanks to @mwl@mwl.io book #RYOMS https://mwl.io/nonfiction/tools#ryoms and. @stefano posting a step by step guide https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/03/08/make-your-own-email-server-freebsd-opensmptd-rspamd-dovecot-part1/
and @BastilleBSD tooling to make jails easier to configure and test.

Previously, I had only used a development setup that included #postfix for internal testing.

I even got my first DMARC report...because the previous mx is still forwarding to my account on a large provider, and i didn't include it in the spf record.

It is currently IMAP only access because I don't need webmail, but I'll probably add that with a #postgresql or #LDAP backend since the separate passwd file would require manual editing, which isn't reasonable if other people need to update passwords.

I am grateful for all the people who made the tools and documentation so that it is possible to host my own email in 2025.

*edited to hopefully fix account links from mobile posting.
