Dominated by a handful of carriers, yet still manageable by the rest of us. If you do it right. Setting up the email server is the easy part. The protocols that support email? Those are hard. SPF. DKIM. DMARC. BIMI and MTA-TLS and TLS-RPT. DNS standards that apply to nothing else on the modern Internet. Block lists. Graylisting.

best email how to i've read

5 stars

Back in 2006 I wanted to self host my mail. After two weeks of feeling with a bunch of howtos from the linux documentation project I gave up. That was also probably due to me getting free email hosting from google. When that offer ended, I thought about self hosting again , this time documentation was way better. This book is huge howtos and covers everything email related. The protocols, the history. It also provides exemples, sequencing : what to do first and then. I've been using email and managing some email related domains for 25ish years. I've learned a lot and would recommend that every sysadmin reads this book.
