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!

    Technically it’s going to work, but practically it will be unusable in the real world because major E-Mail providers block residential IPs. I have mailcow running on a VPS and it’s great. I’m planning to set it up at home one day and then let it use the VPS IP over Wireguard, but I don’t have a proper homeserver yet :/
