README.md

mail4one

Personal mail server for a single user or a small family. Written in pure python with minimal dependencies. Designed for dynamic alias based workflow where a different alias is used for each purpose.

Getting started

  1. Get a domain name
  2. Get a vps (or a home server). Setup firewall rules for receive on port 25, 995, 465
  3. Setup MX record
  4. Build/Download latest release - mail4one.pyz
  5. Generate config.json from deploy_configs/config.sample
  6. Run ./mail4one.pyz -c config.json
  7. [Optional] Setup systemd service and tls certificates. See deploy_configs/ for examples

Sending email

mail4one only takes care of receiving and serving email. For sending email, use an external service like below

Most of them have generous free tier which is more than enough for personal use. Sending email is tricky. Even if everything is correctly setup (DMARC, DKIM, SPF), popular email vendors like google, microsoft may mark emails sent from your ip as spam
