I run my own mail-server on FreeBSD and qmail (setup mostly using a script from Matt Simerson: https://github.com/msimerson/Mail-Toaster-6). I need to re-do it at some point. I’m always debating moving to Zimbra (OpenSource Edition, or Zimbra Suite). If I wouldn’t run my own, I’d probably switch to Protonmail. Fastmail is also an option. DNS (authority) is best run at your hosting-provider or even at a specialized DNS provider, depending on requirements. Everything else is just asking for trouble. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
