November 12, 20232 yr I host my web services ie. nextcloud, photorism ect But I have yet to host my own email. I can only find limited information on it and I have been wanting to since I built my first Unraid server. Does anyone know of a suitable app to do this along with enough information available to setup and complete?
November 12, 20232 yr Not a good idea, most ISPs frown on it, and all other email servers will likely not accept mail from your server - especially if you're not on a dedicated IP

If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. I want to try it and see what happens.
November 21, 20232 yr I host my email server with 4 domains, need help maybe? its a bit complicated to keep secure. Checkout mailcow as a start EDIT: for testing you mail domain mxtoolbox.com Edited November 21, 20232 yr by PSYCHOPATHiO

Checkout mailcow as a start EDIT: for testing you mail domain mxtoolbox.com Ok, so far I can send mail to a couple email providers (Google and Disroot) but I am still trying to receive mail. I think the issue is my pfSense firewall. I'm sure I have to make a rule or something to route traffic to the correct IP?

All the services I host are done through Cloudflare tunnels. I don’t think I can host an email server though a tunnel?

Well I'm not sure if I can help here, I don't have any experience with the tunneling of Cloudflare, can u do port forwarding on your ISP router? If yes then you have to Create dynamic DNS on pfSense and connect it to a subdomain on your Cloudflare, under Services click on Dynamic DNS Portfoward port 25 from ISP router to your pfSense instance IP In pfSense under the tab Firewall go to NAT and add the port 25 and forward it to your email server IP address I guess you can find YouTube videos on any of the things required to complete the setup
