Cool, I may test their basic plan and see how it goes. And yeah, I’m aware of the issue of email servers being blacklisted, I indeed did the experiment before moving to Proton and experienced precisely that.

Mine concern with self-hosting is on how unpractical it will become overtime, I self host already several services but I’m sort of aware that going the route of self-hosting with regards to email it’s going to involve being a bit more hands-on.

Thanks for the heads-up on Mailbox.org, looks interesting and it’s good see another European service on this space. Wished they offered an option for Email-only (with contacts maybe as long as I can sync them with my server) with higher storage capacity. From their website the bigger capacity plans include and online drive and an office suite, things I already have solutions for I don’t want/need a third-party to be in charge of.

Yeah, I know emails will navigated unencrypted outside of my server (in case I decide self-host), encryption at rest is muy first priority with the added benefit that those other using the same server (i.e. family) can also get end-2-end encryption

But as I said I’m not ready, my current homelab server is already reaching capacity and I know that a wrongly configured SMTP will get blacklisted and then good luck (happened already once with another domain)

Anyway, I’m not giving up that just yet but in the meantime just wanted to know about other providers as potential alternatives.
