Congratulations!
My situation and approach are similar: I do not like neither Gmail.com
nor Proton.me. Of the many public mail servers I have experienced,
Fastmail.com seems to be the most serious in terms of compliance with
open standards and respect for its users. Free mail servers (Riseup.net,
Vivaldi.net) will not serve your own domain.
In general, centralised servers, monopolisation, client-server
dependency, excessive complexity, one-sided TOS, “noreply” are all
contrary to the genuine concept, nature and architecture of the Internet
— to its decentralisation, an autonomy of internauts, their direct
communication with personal responsibility. Nowadays, every computer is
capable of being both a client and a server. I guess the old good UUCP
with PGP would be quite sufficient for email.
I’ve also heard good things about Stalwart, which tries to be a more
integrated “all-in-one” solution
Of the AIO (“All-in-One”: SMTP, IMAP, WebUI), I would choose the leanest
and self-configured Mox <https://www.xmox.nl/>, just I do not want to
throw out the excellent Cyrus yet.
Two questions that came up while reading your guide:
1. can your virtual users change their password on their own, without
PAM or LDAP?
2. is it possible to send out an announcement bulletin to an alias
:include: /file?
It would be great to update man 5 smtpd.conf with the correct LMTP
examples, based on your good experience.
Thank you very much, BetaRays, for sharing your experience. I doubt if I
would have implemented LMTP without your help. My OpenSMTPD server for
virtual users is buzzing like a bee now — hooray!
