You can find mine here: https://www.bsdhowto.ch/mxpop3.html

I update it every now and then, mostly when I figure out an improvement 
or find a solution to a new task.

No, for a lot of reasons. (ethical and legals ones)

If you want something to translate the page, you can always use a 
browser extension. (DeepL, Google Translate, etc...)


PS : Your DMARC policy wants a valid DKIM, however i don't see DKIM

Thats excatly what my post 
(https://www.blunix.com/blog/secure-smtp-email-relay-on-debian-and-ubuntu-with-opensmtpd-instead-of-postfix.html)
 was written for - it focuses on servers running webapps that send out booking 
confirmations, password resets, and so on. works for your local raspberry pi 
too.

Great idea! Might even inspire users to create their own to be added to
the list. Just a suggestion: maybe we could collect some configs with
comments for achieving certain goals:

1. How do I setup opensmtpd for outgoing mail only?
2. What is a backup MX server and how do I set one up?
3. How do I connect opensmtpd to my IMAP/POP3 server?

etc.

*like*

Both look helpful. Maybe update the code blocks a bit - in my experience thats 
what people are most looking out for - copy pastable content.

I use https://prismjs.com/ for my blog and am pretty happy with it.

I use OpenSMTPDD for peer to peer email, because it is small and
relatively simple.  I've been able to keep up with old friends thanks to
p2p email, which doesn't depend on DNS, clearnet IPs, etc.

I need to update this article (opensmtpd config has changed since it was
posted), but the p2p setup is another well fitted use of opensmtpd.

I only have a moment to glance at this.

Ubuntu and Debian appear to be on version 6.8. The Arch package search 
indicates they seem to be on the latest versions, including 7.5 RC1 
being available.


Most critically needed for OpenSMTPD is a PPA with most current version. 
 I maintained a very simple PPA long ago and I am well aware it is no 
small task.
