@hanzbrix As far as I know that was exactly the point of this project. I haven't tried yet but Gmail sould take my mail with the mox suite and the whole DNS hassle. But once it's done it's done. Eff'em anyways. 路 3 weeks ago

It's pretty admirable that someone is willing to go through the pain of making a nice neatly packaged binary like this and make it easy to use too. It just saddens me looking over the feature set, where 10/12 features are useless junk we have to use, because Alphabet said so. 馃檨 路 3 weeks ago

I just read some of the mox documentation and I'm really fascinated by it's simplicity with only on binary and easy setup. I can only advise to have a look @chluehr 's gemini article and check out "mox". It's a really easy and good way to your own email server. And as some might know I'm a fan of selfhosting things including especially email. 路 3 weeks ago

Seems alot like the Mailcow dockerized server which is also a complete email suite, which I use: https://mailcow.email . Very easy to setup, backup and restore in case of desaster. 路 3 weeks ago
