Hey-ho 👋

What is the best approach for selfhosting an email server with static IP or blocked port 25?

I’ve done it many times in many different ways, now doing it again and want to hear what is the best approach these days

My port 25 isn’t even probably blocked, I just prefer to use my vps to help it with this stuff

Any suggestions?

    Do not try to host outbound mail on residential IP blocks, delivery will be really bad. Cheap VPS is same story. You best bet is VPS from some not well know provider, they may be avoid to be in blacklist in M$ and Google. Inbound mail is fine anywhere as so long as you can have port 25 open. DDNS works too.
