Dear Christian, I am an "old" IT professional with 43 years of experience, retired last year and building my own "home lab" to keep my skills and "brain" up-to-date. I really enjoy your videos, my only advice is to "slow down just a bit" as we (old people) have a little bit of a hard time to "keep up with you". I saw that at one point you were having a "hard time" keeping with "other" you-tubers, just be your self! People will follow you because you add value to their professional (or in my case, retired ) lives. Keep up the good work!

Regards,

Pablo

THIS GUY IS AMAZING - AS IS MAILCOW! 10/10 video, thank you so much!! I've been trying to setup a mail server for 2 weeks, and finally I could with this! :D

This was the best most painless setup I have ever done. I have been pulling my hair out trying to set up an email server that looked good and functioned well and I finally stumbled across this video. THANK YOU. Liked, subscribed and I will be anticipating a ton of good content.

You did a great job and it wasn't to long at all. Thank you for taking the time to teach a dockerized solution to this.

Your sudden loud music volume wakes up the neighbour

[Myektaie]

Thanks! Every video i watched from your channel solved my problem so I don’t need to look elsewhere 🌺🌺
People who are reading this: making YouTube videos of this quality spend a lot of time, I would be surprised if Christian spent less than 50 hours on making this only video! A small donation doesn’t hurt us, but gives a big boost in his moral to continue making these awesome problem solver videos 😊☺️☺️

It's nice to see how quality of your videos improved over those two years - not only with the A/V quality, but also with the confidence of your voice :)

Excellent video as always. Your videos make it so easy to learn and implement software in Linux. I have Mailcow working in Docker on Ubuntu server 20.04!

Hey christian, such a great tutorial. I subscribed your channel just because of this one tutorial. Great work! I love you!

I like the way you explain things. Thanks

I have only 3 words. "Wow, wow and wow"! This was the best tutorial video I have ever watched and I've signed up to see them all. I had my mail server up and running in around 30 mins and whilst it only works locally, I think I'm on the right track to get it working externally. I'll keep reading and fingers crossed!
