I successfully made my own server for @delta! Woo hoo! Only using 215Mb RAM on a VPS so far. #DeltaChat #WhatsApp #Signal

@esmail No, sorry my wording was confusing. I made my own regular Dovecot/Postfix server for use with DeltaChat. Learning how to do it is what I was excited about. 😀

ooooooh, gotcha. and indeed postfix is "exciting" to setup

took me a week to figure it out 😂 and congrats 🎉

I'm really happy for you and enjoy it 😁

and a little cheat sheet, use https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz to deploy postfix faster 😉

@esmail That's exactly what I used this morning! 😀 Reading the script, I can see how it could have been much more work.

mailcow uses docker and other containers so it will use a lot of memory too. your best bet is vanilla postfix.

mailcow is easy to use because it got services together tied up and ready to use, your webmail, caldav, even antivirus to scan attachments (but you can disable it to save memory)
in reply to Adam

oh you need, mailcow is demanding. I'm lazy guy 😂

I use snikket instead of Prosody and mailcow instead of postfix. demanding but easy to setup
