Email Hosting w/SMTP, what do you use?

I’ve recently been trying to degoogle myself, and in doing so I’m going to need another email. I tried ProtonMail, but apparently only business accounts can use SMTP, even though their features claim SMTP access. I’m plenty fine paying for the service, but going from the $6/month to $12/month just to get notification emails from my server doesn’t seem worth it to me. I’ve not looked into what all else comes with Proton’s Business features, but i’m not really running a business or trying to start one up.

What do you use? do you like it? How’s the cost/features?

hitagi,

My domain registrar (Netim) comes with free email so I use that. They’re kind of expensive though.

NettoHikari,

I have a VM at OVH that’s a couple years old by now. I pay only a couple € for it each month. On that I run Mailcow and it works just fine.

Can you selfhost? Does you ISP allow you to host a mail server? (and there is a difference between what they say, and what they actually do.)

I use iRedMail as a complete solution which is a mailserver, complete with server management and webclients sogo and icube.

The problem you may run into is if your ISP actively submits its customer email subnets to sites like Spamhaus. But if you dont get IP changes very often this might not be a problem. However you do also need to have a domain in your control and know how to do DKIM and SPF

InverseParallax,

Back when I had more time I set up mailinabox, before that I’d set up postfix and Cyrus.

Somewhere along the line the sasl and spam management became obnoxious, but I have to make a new solution soon and retire those cloud vms.

It works well for me, but managed usually makes more sense, consider Google apps for your purposes.

If you buy any domain from OVH, you can enable a single 5gb email account and 10mb webspace for free on it. The latter is maybe useful for some fail-over, but the email is definitely very cool for sending out notifications and such.

Mailcow dockerised is a solid option. It also has a really nice built in DNS checker which was very useful for getting that set up right.

I currently use Protonmail but for some time I used hMailServer on Windows (www.hmailserver.com).
