Toying with the idea of running my own email server. Lots of people say this is a bad idea.
Been doing lots of research. I have a VPS for it already and want to set it up with postfix, dovecot, roundcube, and mariadb.
I don't want to host locally because I don't want it to depend on my internet connection and because my ip address will likely change at some point and most residential IPs are blacklisted.
But also don't want to host it on someone else's machine unless I can totally encrypt the drive. I have been looking at how to do full drive encryption on a vps hard drive by adding dropbear ssh to the initsys so I can ssh in and enter the decryption password when rebooting.
This also doesn't seem ideal, because it would require me to be available to do this for every reboot.
So still researching to see what other options there are.
Ive had great success with Mailcow on my Vps, they have good Docs to follow and also setup the DNS. Just wanted to drop that suggestion :)
