Gmail's dumb: Just host your own mail server!

I set up a mail server from scratch. Use Thunderbird, mutt or any other mail client to log in securely, just requires a domain name and a VPS/server. I use this script to help me:

Not only will it automatically set up a Postfix and Dovecot server, but also Spamassassin and use OpenDKIM and SPF to validate and secure your mail domain to ensure that you can send messages to Gmail and other big addresses.

I love those videos about your personal server. They make me really nostalgic for the time when I made my own personal website. That was, of course, before I realized that I am really good at making websites but don't have any interesting content to put on one in the first place.

Apparently Vultr blocks port 25 by default so you need to open a ticket and ask them to unblock it before you can start sending your emails.

Setting it up is the easy part. Keeping the packages and config up to date is the hard part.

When you are setting up your DNS records, make sure to take the time the first go around to get it right, or set the TTL number low, because the initial propagation is nearly immediate. If you have to change anything, you will have to wait for the cache time to expire.

Time to spin up a bootstrap personal website with all the knowledge from your past 10 videos. Thanks for everything you do Luke!

Thanks for making this video! Setting up a mail server seemed like an impossible task, but with your script, it looks super easy.
You are the best!

i just created my website yesterday after watching your video and now i want to setup my own email server. damn! luke out here inspiring people.

[qillerr_yt]

THANK YOU LUKE! That script is exactly what I was trying to find, when I was trying to set up an email server ages ago, and it was quite long. The next one I set up will be this ^^

[altermetax]

Oh my god, thanks a lot Luke, I just tried to setup a mail server yesterday and mail to GMail would go to Spam. I don't know whether it's thanks to your recent script updates or anything, but it works now.

I was about to comment if you could do a video on email server hosting, since general consensus on the internet seems to be "omg it's so hard, dont do it", and here you go posting the video before I could even make the request. :) Love the content lately, keep up the great work.

[antilibtard]

Wow this was amazing! Took like 10 minutes! I learned more in from this video than I have learned from a YouTube video in a loooong time!
Thanks Luke!

[MastarCheef]

Super based. Now I got an email server up and running. Thanks Luke for the script. I will warn anyone using Digital Ocean as their VPS you will need to change the name of your droplet to your domain so that your domain shows up in a reverse DNS lookup. Its kinda dumb but thats apparently how it works. I guess that a point in favor for Vultr if you don't have a VPS already setup for this.
