I'll keep all your account active for a week or so, if you want one time, please let me know.
I think you need to run an ML mail service for everyone
Thinking about it. Just sure I could do it for free.
I bet you'd only be looking at 20-30 people seriously interested. Would be pretty cool, though.
I can do it for free. But I need to set some restrictions.
TLDR; Free service, not for abuse or high volume.
For example:
- Server would be a VPS in Europe (for those who care) with good performance but high latency to US.
- Only 35 GB of storage total (maybe 70 if needed). I do not care about the amount of email accounts as long they are within the storage limits.
- No Solr searching (Java and memory usage).
- Only disaster recovery backups: 1 week.
- I will need some time to get a clean IP. Meanwhile I could use Mailchannels until I get one, but only if email volume is low.
- I will shut it down the moment I see the service is abused by anyone or if an account is hacked and starts sending SPAM.
- I will not be fighting incomming SPAM. Every user will be responsible to train rspamd for their own account.
- I do not want to be vetting who gets an email or admin account and who doesn't. Someone else would need to do that.
- The service will go down from time to time for updates. Like once a month, for less than 30 minutes, at night in America
- For sure I forgot more that one thing, but you get the idea.
By the way, which domain name? who will own it?
Let me know if interested. -
@dave_c let’s work on this together since I already have a start on it.
Your terms are reasonable, and similar to the terms I would have
-
Why would the VPS be in Europe & not the US?
-
@FATeknollogee cheaper

@Curtis said in Email server options:
@FATeknollogee cheaper duh
It can't be that much cheaper, I don't buy that reason.
So you'll choose the higher latency VPS because it's less money but all the folks that are using it are here in the US?
-
@FATeknollogee everyone is in the US? That can’t possibly be true...

I'm referring to the users from this forum.
-
Well I'm not in the U.S lol...so not everyone...
-
@FATeknollogee even so... don’t we have users from all around?
-
I assume'd' majority of the users are US based?
-
@FATeknollogee
I am on full disclosure mode. If I wasn´t most non nerds would not notice. Wait, this is a nerd community: I apologize
In the end it does not matter for email delivery and the console works fast enough.
But If the project goes on and the crowd demands it I could host it elsewhere, like ChicagoEdit: Yes, the price is better is Europe. Check the prices on Hetzner as Curtis said.

Neither do I
-
@FATeknollogee doesn’t matter. Response time to Germany is good, I have zero issues. Not to mention better privacy.

@dave_c said latency to the US would be high?
-
@FATeknollogee
Well, there is a difference between 10-40 ms and 90 ms
The Atlantic ocean is somewhat big -
@FATeknollogee the test account you have is in Germany. Did you even notice any lag?

I haven't tried to "attach" any sizeable files yet.
-
btw, is this all mailcow: dockerized?
-
@Curtis
You know, I could just edit my offer and remove location. Then we could concentrate on hijacking the OP -
@FATeknollogee we will have to test it
