@Asudox my mastodon connects with smtp to a locally running sendmail which then forwards the messages signed with dkim

Is running a SMTP server a pain in the ass? Like hard to maintain?

[–] joshix@fosspri.de 1 points 5 months ago

@Asudox once I set it up *correctly* I didn't have problems yet

But big email providers like google like to not deliver emails if you do stuff wrong. I'm not self-hosting for my personal email stuff, but I didn't want to pay or put my email pw on my server, so I had no choice (i could've created a new email account, but i didn't want to put a 3rd party in the middle)
