OK, sorry for hijacking my own (walter's) post, but this
Verizon dying mail server, causes lots of bloated messages and
misdirection. I just now figured out that's the bouncing messages

message to move the users to another mail service/system, this could
have been avoided a long time ago. Oh well....
SO, I found and old guide of how to set up postfix
on Rasp pi systems. It's vintage 2014 but it a place to start. What
breaks or does not work, I'll have to fix,
or follow the suggestions posted to this list.

So tonight I'll try to order one or 2.
Anyone interested, or already has R. Pi:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_3_64_bit_Install#History
Any newer guide links are most welcome, especially Rpi-4. Surely there
are more folks on this list than I that want a sub- $100 mail server
that is low power, and thus can be left up
7x24, with a single IP address and DNS services or (2) more R.Pi.
Running DNS primary services.
(links to guides for DNS primaries on gentoo-R.pi. are most welcome.
How doe this guide look for dns services on a RPi?

Sorry for my email problems. I finally found out why things bounce/fail
so often. From:
Verizon Email Retirement

And Frontier, current bandwidth supplier, as a spin-off from Verizon, is
getting out of the email server services too. I'm not going down the
Yahoo mail calamity pathway, so what choices do I have.
So who do folks recommend for mail server services?
Time to set up my own mail server (what I prefer to do).
/usr/portage/mail-mta��� lists:
sendmail (15 years since I rode/mastered that beast, but� well known.
postfix (probable the best choice?
Default simple/secure setups for either of these?
I can get static IPs and have machines for a pair of primary dns (rasp
pe 4?) servers and a mail server.
Rasp pi 4 cluster of 2, 3, 4 ?
Any other (temp) solutions for the mail server?
I have been using thunderbird, but it seems like a good time to
implement something newer/more-secure for the
easiest install?
