Hello,
In a not too distant future I might have to bring back at home my email
self-hosted stack (Postfix, Dovecot, Webmail, all signing and
filtering…). It currently sits in a datacenter with a good reputation IP
address.
If I host my email stack at home, I cannot use my residential IP address
as SMTP (might be OK for MX, though).
So I guess I can rent a VPS and send my SMTP flow through the VPS IP
address.
Question is: what would be the best way to do this? The simplest setup
that would have the least overhead / over-engineering and the best
resilience.
I think signing (DKIM, ARC) at home, then forwarding to a postfix
instance on the VPS for public delivery, is not best practice.
I’m running FreeBSD. I’ve created a Jail with Wireguard client, a VPN
tunnel between the Jail and the Wireguard server on the VPS, but I could
not find a way to use that setup properly.
Any thoughts ?
Just use one of the SMTP relay mobs.
I use SMTP2Go <https://www.smtp2go.com/> for exactly the situation you
are heading towards, running a full mail environment at home with just
the MX record and domain pointing to it. My current RSP provides a
static IP but until recently I had a dynamic address and it all just
worked with usual fiddling about.
Cheers,
Gary B-)
