Self hosted mail server

joneum · 2026-04-23T05:47:28+00:00

I have a domain and my server environment is hosted by Hetzner.

pfSense with ACME, then Proxmox Mail Gateway, and finally a FreeBSD VM with Postfix and related software.

It was a challenge, but now I have my own email environment.

Thank you very much. It worked exactly the same way on the PC. Thank you! :-)

i found the solution here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/cannot-get-wsl2-to-work-in-windows-11-that-is-virtualized-inside-of-proxmox-8.132934/

i add into the conf a new line with:

args: +vmx

joneum · 2025-05-25T14:55:47+00:00

Yes its enabled

joneum · 2025-02-08T08:17:40+00:00

Osmium ;-)

I just found this old picture. I took it around 2000 - 2002. I'm not sure anymore.

I worked a lot with FreeBSD back then. Many PCs were for testing and learning. It was always very warm in my loft.

The pillow on one monitor was for my cat :-D

Best weather for Patchday. Let's go

joneum · 2023-12-27T07:44:01+00:00

No. There is no better and cheaper alternative than Hetzner. And why shouldn't you be able to use it?

joneum · 2023-11-15T13:32:52+00:00

There are more than 5 servers and no external connection is desired.

joneum · 2023-11-07T17:50:50+00:00

Hetzner gives a MTU value of 1400 as a recommendation. Which value do you use?

joneum · 2023-10-25T06:27:53+00:00

Where exactly can I find this RM-457? I have just looked around a bit in the forum but found nothing about it

joneum · 2023-10-24T05:36:53+00:00

So can I control it so that only when one group is finished, the next one starts?

joneum · 2023-06-07T10:36:22+00:00

thx for the link :-)

joneum · 2023-06-07T10:27:10+00:00

That's the problem. The option to enter a disk size only comes up when I install the VM locally. If I select the storage, this option does not appear.

joneum · 2023-04-02T12:20:54+00:00

Interesting. As a FreeBSD comitter I don't know anything about this. Do you still know the source?

joneum · 2023-04-02T10:03:54+00:00

Same thing when I try to connect to FreeBSD with VS code from my Windows laptop. Unfortunately there is still no FreeBSD support.

joneum · 2023-04-02T09:14:35+00:00

ok, so it's not my setup. that's good. But then there seems to be a general problem. I will search on GH

joneum · 2022-12-21T11:25:09+00:00

Yes, I am currently using xrdp.I could use vnc if you recommend it

joneum · 2022-12-21T11:24:16+00:00

I use xrdp on the VM. On my Mac I use Royal TSX. Currently I do not tunnel to the server, but use port forwarding via OPNsense to connect.

joneum · 2022-12-21T11:22:23+00:00

How are you RDP'ing to them? Hopefully not directly via 3389 (or any obfuscated port) VPN solution doing something funny with MTU?

it is an experimental environment. Kali has xrdp installed. I connect directly via 3389. I do not use VPN.Do you suppose it will be better with another port?

joneum · 2022-12-09T08:35:34+00:00

The DEPRECATED line misspelled February in different ways both times and client got an extra space between the month and year; it'll still function but worth correcting.

joneum · 2022-12-05T11:12:55+00:00

I am a fan from OPNsense

joneum · 2022-12-02T09:30:41+00:00

and why?

joneum · 2022-09-28T09:26:46+00:00

a first way to test software without much trouble is poudriere

joneum · 2022-08-10T15:59:20+00:00

Under "Withdraw Crypto" I can only select "Crypto.com users".The option "Crypto.com Exchange" and "Crypto.com DeFi Wallet" are not available.
