<p dir="auto">I have found the Synology MailPlus Server running on one of their NAS boxes to be relatively easy to set up and administer. Included for free for up to 5 accounts, it runs Postfix for SMTP, Dovecot for IMAP, has a decent GUI for setup, monitoring and other administration, you can turn on any/all of the modern spam/virus stuff (DKIM -- outgoing and incoming -- DANE, DMARC, SPF, DNSBL, Rspamd, Bitdefender, ClamAV, etc.), and you get a NAS/RAID box for other purposes. I also use it as a web server (nginx), DNS server, file server, and calendar/address book server (though the latter were a bit fussy to set up the way I wanted). And I'm running this all on a little DS220+ box with 2 drives. For just a few accounts, it's performed just fine.</p>
<p dir="auto">In any event, MailMate works like a champ with it and I've never had problems. YMMV.</p>

<p dir="auto">I can’t estimate how much work it takes to set up a mail server.</p>
<p dir="auto">Which server do you use?</p>
<p dir="auto">Do you have any advice on which one is the easiest to set up? I’m not sure how to choose between the available options.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hello,</p>
<p dir="auto">I’m seeking assistance from the expertise of this mailing list.</p>
<p dir="auto">I had an account with DomainFactory, but they are now migrating their email services to Microsoft 365. I heavily relied on the "catch-all" receiving and "wildcard" sending functions, but the new solution does not support these features.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’m now looking for an email provider that supports both of these functions. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p dir="auto">I run my own for this reason, and to do my own spam blocking. But this is probably not too helpful for most, who likely have no desire to run their own servers.</p>
