Hi all,

I have had several shots at self hosting email over the years and my last attempt failed due to my home IP being in a dynamic pool. I thought I might try again, this time with a basic web hosting provider that I could set up email on. Any suggestions for a free/cheap provider with decent uptime?

Thanks

    Digital Ocean is the only one I know of that doesn’t block outgoing traffic on port 25, but you need to use IPv4 only.

    Also whatever IP address you get will probably already be on several spam lists, so use a service to check them, then individually follow the steps for each one to get your IP unblocked.

      I moved from DO after my IP address landed on a spam list. At the time DO specifically discouraged installation of mail servers on their machines. Since then I‘ve been running my Mail in a Box server on a Vultr instance with good results.
