most email users will need that,

I use an vps with [poste.io](https://poste.io).

Its not Open Source but a very nice Self Hosting Out of Box Mail
Server.

Why not get a RDY to go soulution.

Netcup has their webhosting stack. Which allows depending on what you
buy upto 1tb for emals with over 1k addresses and half a dozn domans.
for about 10euro/m

But Its central EU only so your milage may vary

The free version is private use only and the pro version pricy.

I don't want to mess with self hosted mail box (and all the troubles
to manage delivery rate, IP blacklist, all the stuff) so I just got a
black Friday deal from mxroute and called it a day. Would be a good
choice if you are open to alternatives than self hosted.

How is it with spam filters? Do your emails ever get blocked or go to
spam?

Exchange with a decent MTA. I can make you an offer if you like.

Self hosted options:

Mail-in-a-box
iRedMail
MailCow - personal favorite

If you like how you have it now but want to change providers, MXRoute
uses DirectAdmin panel and runs an email service.

Self hosted: I use https://mailu.io/2.0/ and it's awesome because it's
easy to install and back up, it's lightweight and has all the features
I need in a self hosted email solution. I don't send emails directly
from my server though because of deliverability issues. Instead I use
https://www.zoho.com/zeptomail/ as SMTP relay in Mailu to send emails
so I never have to worry about deliverability. Mailu is free and open
source; Zepto Mail is a paid service by Zoho but very cheap at only
2.50 euros per credit where a credit is valid for 6 months and for 10K
emails, so it's super cheap and you can avoid the deliverability
issues you will likely have otherwise.


If you don't want the hassle of self hosting email check out
https://mxroute.com/, it's a rock solid and affordable service.

Is this 200GB spread across 100 people, or is it 100 people with 200GB
each? (As those are very different things with very different
requirements.)

So.... where is the self-hosted part here?

Which part, is hosted on your old hardware / network?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
TallFescue · 2023-12-08 17:24

True, but for OP it would be ~$1/user/month, much cheaper than many
other paid alternatives

Huh what are you talking about? Even if you rent simple webspace
including a domain you can get hundreds of email users and >200gb mail
storage for as low as 50-60€/year.

>I just got a black Friday deal from mxroute

Their black friday deals are still up -->
[https://accounts.mxroute.com/index.php?/cart/black-friday-
2023/&step=0&id=250](https://accounts.mxroute.com/index.php?/cart/blac
k-friday-2023/&step=0&id=250)

15$/3 years for a unlimited 5GB account is a great deal so worth
checking them out!

The problem with most larger hosting companys offering webspace with
mailservers or VPS is bad IP reputation. I selfhost many Cloudron
instances at Netcup and depend on external SMTP services. Hosting
itself is cheap and Netcup would be my first choice. Hosting your own
mailserver however is something else and, in general, not a great
experience.
