  • Building a secure mail server

    Naturally with owning a domain, I can setup e-mail. Now I could use any number of free services to do this, but I’m choosing to host my own solution here. With the theme of containerization, I looked to see if there was a good solution using docker, and that’s how I found Mailu.io. This project…
