I was wondering how practical it would be to run my own email server at home, I’ve set up servers before and know how to forward ports and such. Would it be possible to do it on an rpi 4 and do you guys have recommendations on any free software for setting up an email server. Thanks!

    Setting up your own email server is a great way to learn how to manage an email server, but it’s also a pain and with most isps you can’t use port 25 for outbound traffic. Sendmail is good to look at for your smtp server and postfix but it’s been years since I’ve used them. Played around with Citadel but never got too far with it as I was trying to setup an internal email server for a company a few years back but they ended up changing their mind and wanting to go with an exchange server instead.
