THEY always tell you it is too hard and too complicated to run your own mailserver. Well, that's a lie.
In this video we are going to set up our own mailserver. We discuss reasons to do that, prerequisites, recommendations, security, the actual installation process, setting the required DNSentries (including DKIM, SPF, and DMARC), setup of mailboxes, and what to do after the installation.
This video is a bit longer, but this is time well spent if you want to run your own mailserver! Please apologize the sound quality I had some issues with the microphone. :(
