I'm the IT manager for the small business I work at. We were self hosting email until about 5 years ago when Google/GMail started blocking emails we were sending via IPv6. We had routable static IPv4 with rDNS, but Comcast Business Class, at the time, didn't support static not rDNS on the IPv6 side. Shutting off our server's IPv6 provided a short term fix by forcing all outgoing emails to use IPv4. But the fix didn't last.
Hi, Willie. Love this bite-sized approach. I wanted to ask before I forgot - a recognition you may yet cover the issue - about my environment. I have the five static IP addresses. I will call my provider and ask them what they want/provide, but for those of use with static IPs, will this be covered? If dynamic is the best, that's cool, I can always take that route, but I thought I'd ask, just to be sre. Thx
Biggest challenge has been ISP unwilling to add a DNS reverse lookup (IP resolves back to host name). There are some strict servers out there that will not talk to your server without this. Understandable but unfortunate.
@3:20 WHAT? No way in hell should anbody be paying for mail user licences in 2022, its why I've pulled out hundreds of exchange servers and replaced them with linux and Open Source Mail products . Cheapy linux mini PC's can be got for couple hundred, postfix and dovecot are dead easy to instal and configure and work pretty much out of the box for basics, and cost NOTHING, 5 users or 5 million users. Then you have clamav it installs out of the box too again free, spamassassin, too, again free, but to be 99% efficient needs custom rules, but still does a stella job out the box. Synology should stick to what they do best backup hardware, unbeatable at that, not try a be a microsoft exchange wannabe clone
Cool concept but a nightmare to manage in an actual business where IT is not your primary focus. You could buy 3 years of Office 365 with the amount of time and hardware need to set this up. Not to mention you get to worry about hardware failing.
Please make sure to cover a DS1819+ running DSM 6.2. Thank you!

Was hoping the video would cover something a little more platform agnostic ie a mail server that runs in a docker container or even a VM.
Hopefully he will make videos about Synology first and then about docker mail server
Willie. I'd like to know if your video covers setting up mail plus to DL my maill from my ISP. I've tried several times to no avail
Any chance of including the non-paid Synology mail server option? The licences for MailPlus are very expensive.

Is using CGNAT the same as being "Double natted"? From your comments in this video I think it might be.

@@WillieHowe Nice! Looking forward to that.

friends don't let friends host email :)
friends will teach friends how to host their own email :)
