Gregory's Server@GossiTheDog @Quinnypig Everyone gives me the side eye for running my own mail server, IRC, nextcloud, etc. I have seen this play before and it ends in tears. Trust no one.

@drhaywardj I am not recommending it for everyone. Sadly, I don't, but it helps that I work at Sophos and use my Sophos XGS firewall and our cloud email filtering to handle much of the heavy lifting. Managed my own mail server since 1999, so I am well steeped in my LDAP/Postfix/Dovetail nuances.  @chetwisniewski @drhaywardj yeh, definitely not for everyone. I gave up running my own server in the early 2000's because spam, attacks, etc, just became too oppressive for my home ADSL connection to handle 😖 @sortius @chetwisniewski @drhaywardj +1 Sophos synchronize sec + xdr is the shit! #fuckransomware  @drhaywardj @chetwisniewski you should have a look at the upcoming kickstarter for Run Your Own Mail Server by @mwl - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/run-your-own-mail-server I’ve been running mine since early 2000s and (as a sponsor of the book) I received a prerelease copy. It’s a great resource for what’s necessary to do this important work in the modern climate. Highly recommend it.  @chetwisniewski @GossiTheDog @Quinnypig Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/743/ "The worlds tiniest open-source violin"  @chetwisniewski @GossiTheDog @Quinnypig
True. As some veteran who has extensively worked on ActivitiyPub software commented, "I don't trust Eugen either." On my part, I don't trust (most) admins running instances (hence running my own). Nor any of the 'voices' promoting ActivityPub. |
@chetwisniewski. Got a good HOWTO for running a secure mail server. Recently, most of the advice I have seen is “Don’t”
