I wanted to provide a quick update on the mail server project.
This project is aimed at me being able to learn how to more effectively use docker to build a mail server along with using amazon SES and email relay.
As mentioned previously build gin the server wasn’t that bad, I used an open source GitHub project called “docker-mailserver” which has already implemented a usable stack for my usecase.
Once I set up the server publishing the basic A record and MX records was not difficult either, where the initial challenge came was use SES as a relay as I wasn’t exactly sure how my DNS records were supposed to work but in the end this has been resolved and I can effectively send mail to most email providers using SES.
Thats all for now, the next thing I hope to do is use this docker mail server to both send and receive emails for multiple domains, eventually hosting email for my organization which rents properties.
