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?)

read the postfix documentation :)

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

dovecot is documented in postfix IIRC

Huh, I see

Thnx

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

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

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...)

Thnx for the advice

(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

The error is "550 invalid recepient"

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

That's the thing it is valid

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

I think my client was misconfigured

Still same problem though

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

lol

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

I see

I'll keep digging around
