i think it's time to dispel the myth that is hard if a dumdum like me can set up github.com/docker-mailserver/d in a USD12/mo linode box (which also hosts my websites, so that's not USD12 for mail alone) in like 15 minutes

the hardest part is just getting the DNS DKIM, DMARC and SPF values right

@mavica_again for me the scary part is this: what if your server goes down while you're very busy at work or worse if you're on vacation and you can't receive your boarding pass because you can't access your email?

Follow

@apex and that's a valid concern! but it's by no means "difficult" for anyone already versed in self-hosting to spin up a mail server. i would absolutely have qualms about my own ability to keep a 99.9% uptime too
