Stefano Marinelli<p>Since Dovecot 2.4 is dropping replication, I'll definitely need to rework my mail servers and those for BSDMail. I think I'll be going back to Cyrus, which I last used over 20 years ago. The problem is my memories have long faded, so it'll be like studying it again from scratch. And that makes me happy, because it'll be like learning something totally new!</p><p>Special thanks to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://exquisite.social/@h3artbl33d" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>h3artbl33d</span></a></span> for the heads up!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSDMail</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OwnYourData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OwnYourData</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/MailServer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MailServer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Dovecot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dovecot</span></a></p>

J’ai découvert que j’avais 2,8 millions de mails dans un seul dossier IMAP.
Je répète : deux millions. Huit cent mille.
Merci YunoHost pour les rapports de diagnostic par mail…

J’ai tout purgé en SSH depuis ma voiture, en 5G, pendant que la sono tournait.
Maintenant, iOS Mail et Apple Intelligence peuvent bosser sans convulser.

Je n’administre pas un serveur. Je dompte un fauve 🦁.

Yann Büchau :nixos:

#eMail #selfHosting gurus: I am looking for the simplest possible way to host myself a mailbox I can add to my email clients (Thunderbird, phone, etc.) as usual, so I can move mails there to free up space on the 3rd party "real" emails, then back them up separately on my server.

I do not want receiving or sending emails to work. Just an IMAP or whatever box I can shove emails in the face by dragging them in Thunderbird or with a script.

Ideally available in :nixos: #NixOS

I just found out that Dovecot 2.4 is a crippled version of Dovecot 2.3: no more clustering support, the director function has been removed. If you want to do clustering now, you'll have to buy a Pro license.

https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.0/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html#removed-features

So, although I've used Dovecot for years, both private and for work, it seems like this is the end of the line for me.

At the same time I see what @Stalwart Labs can do. Yes, clustering, for one. And a whole lot more, including bayesian classification, analysis of DMARC reports and even a reputation database.

I'm really impressed by what it can do. Bit hesitant about the fact that it's still only version 0.11.5 though, smells alpha...

Looks like Stalwart is the future for me.
