XMPP Service Operators - 2022-02-14

    I know this is about self-hosting XMPP here, but I figure a lot of you self-host email too. Does anyone have a good guide for setting postfix up with PostgreSQL on Arch Linux (or even better, on Parabola GNU/Linux?)

  2. jonas’

    read the postfix documentation :)

  3. wael

    That's the easy part: integrating dovecot, rspamd...etc is where I can't wrap my head around it

  4. jonas’

    dovecot is documented in postfix IIRC

  5. wael

    Huh, I see

  6. wael

    Thnx

  7. jonas’

    rspamd is just a milter, so that's what you need to look at for that

  8. wael

    And would you think that opensmtpd or postfix is better? As the former seems easier to set up

  9. jonas’

    I only ever used postfix.

    wael, another vote for postfix+dovecot+rspamd here, setup is far more annoying than XMPP, but pretty hands-off once it's done, mine has been running for 9 years or so now (not with rspamd though...)

  11. wael

    Thnx for the advice

  12. moparisthebest

    (where has the time gone...)

    https://poolp.org/posts/2019-09-14/setting-up-a-mail-server-with-opensmtpd-dovecot-and-rspamd/ I managed to set it all up according to this guide, but for some reason I can only get inbound mail to work, not outbound

  14. wael

    The error is "550 invalid recepient"

  15. moparisthebest

    the address you are trying to send to isn't valid ? (or your server can't access DNS for some reason or something)

  16. wael

    That's the thing it is valid

  17. wael

    I just replied to a mail that I got from it (gmail)

  18. wael

    I think my client was misconfigured

  19. wael

    Still same problem though

  20. wael

    So, I can only send email to my domain - anything else and I get invalid recipient

  21. wael

    lol

  22. moparisthebest

    I know nothing about opensmtpd, in postfix that would be something like recipient_restrictions or the like

  23. wael

    I see

  24. wael

    I'll keep digging around
