I just set up my first ever email server and I’m proud of myself! 😊 Do you have any advice to avoid common problems? I mean something beginners often do that they shouldn’t. Thanks!

    Not trying to discourage you

    Well, that’s exactly what it sounds like :/

    Don’t listen to him OP, running your own email server is not “a world of hurt”.

    The initial configuration involves quite a few things (DNS records, DKIM, spam filters, …) But it’s definitely manageable. And when all this is setup, you don’t have to touch it anymore, it just works!

    I’ve been doing it for years now, and I’m not going back ! Congratulations on doing it, and good luck on keeping it running!
