I've been running exim/dovecot for years for my personal and business
but my business email is normally not critical for me.
I think a lot depends on your familiarity with email and your appetite
for risk.
Last year I refreshed my setup and ensured I was running DKIM because my
mail was not getting through to a lot of places. Running PSF/DKIM is not
optional - if you don't do it you're basically not going to have mail
accepted by a lot of places.
I run multiple domains using a puppet setup for config, I don't use the
debian config method. If you're only doing a single domain then it can
be quite simple.
I only run one VPS, so this is a SPOF for me, if you need to run
business email through it that is critical I would either go for a
commercial service or run a more complex SMTP setup with multiple MXs.
I can't comment on what commercial services are suitable for your size.
I only deal with either massive amounts at my jobs or tiny amounts at home.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I was hoping to ask
the list about
email sending services.
I'm looking to migrate my email from a paid host to my BitFolk VPS. I
know (and note the links in the thread below) how to get the nuts and
bolts going on the server, however everything I have read suggests that
server config is only half the battle.
The real issue comes with getting your outgoing mail recognised by the
"big guys" so that your users can send email successfully.
Previously, my old host (netvirtue.com.au, recently been bought out,
hence my desire to migrate) would send mail via www.mailchannels.com.
I've looked at their pricing and it's obviously scaled for enterprise
customers or ISPs/resellers dealing with heavy volume.
So, my question for this list is whether anyone can suggest an email
service provider that has pricing suitable for a smaller customer
sending/receiving only 1k-5k emails per month?
Or, are the guides against setting up your own email infrastructure
exaggerating the issues?
Any comments welcome, thanks,
Ash

Hi,
I am a (delighted!) relatively new BF user and run two dozen websites
under Centos and Virtualmin, with no email as I keep email off my
webserver. I am fed up with Cpanel in multiple ways and want to drop
the server where I currently have all my email and mail forwarders.
Is another VPS on Centos with Virtualmin a good route to manage my and
my clients’ email? Or is there a better solution for a mail server?
Consider Sympl (https://sympl.host <https://sympl.host> )
I switched to Sympl from Virtualmin. It handles web and mail but there's
no reason you shouldn't use it for mail only. All admin done by ssh, so
forget it if you really want a web based interface.
Sympl is designed for Debian and uses exim4 and dovecot for mail.
