Mail Moved to Migadu
Posted on (updated ) with tag Technology
Update: Migadu rocks and I still recommend it, but I’ve since moved to Proton Mail per Solène.
Running your own mail server is pretty difficult and running a mail server on OpenBSD is especially so. Although getting everything up and running is pretty straight forward, you inevitably run into things you don’t understand: How can I block a single address? Why am I still getting spam? Is this setup actually secure? Did such and such a person actually receive the email I sent them?
All of this motivated my move to Migadu, a very simple and relatively inexpensive email host. They walk you through the DNS set up and give you a plain, out-of-the-way interface to manage your domain. For approximately $1.58 per month, I don’t have to worry about any of the above. It just works.
Because the system is so simple, it works with mutt, isync, msmtp, and friends without a hiccup. So far, I’ve really enjoyed it and strongly recommend it.
