ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment) represents a breakthrough in managing TLS (Transport Layer Security) certificates. This protocol automates the process of obtaining, installing, and renewing TLS/SSL certificates, which are crucial for securing network communications. TLS certificates provide authentication and encryption, ensuring that data transferred between users and servers remains private and secure.

We are thrilled to announce the release of Stalwart Mail Server 0.5.2, which brings two significant advancements: the integration of the ACME protocol for automatic TLS certificate deployment and support for the HAProxy Protocol. These features mark a substantial step forward in our commitment to enhancing the security and efficiency of Stalwart Mail Server.

I honestly dont see how mail can be reliably self hosted, and be accepted by the majority of filters. Especially as we move farther and farther into the world of limited IPv4 availability.

All it takes is for your IP to be listed as spam, and a large number of companies out there are going to put you in junk, or worse drop you completely.

Add on top of that the issue of reliability, and I just can’t fathom hosting myself. It makes much more sense to me for email to be one of the only things you do third party.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
