  • I aplaud the write up and recognise that the OP has developed a solution that suits their use case.

    Personally I started running my own mail around the same time, but host for several family members at the same time.

    I went a slightly different route and pay for a mail filtering service for inbound filtering and outbound relay. All up costs me $90USD per year for inbound and $4 a month for outbound

    This has solved most blacklist and outbound mail server reputation issues.

    I used to run zarafa till they went commercial. I’ve since migrated to Mailinabox as a platform. Its pretty resilient. (I’ve just disabled greylisying and spam detection as I’ve got upstream MX filtering already) I’ve also recently been through a MiaB major upgrade - it was pretty simple once I actually read the instructions properly!


  • If you are data roaming with your home phone plan, then it is normal. The local carrier tunnels the traffic back to your service provider in your home country and then it routes to the internet from there.

    I get it all the time when I’m OS travelling.

    You’d need a VPN in the country you’re in to make the traffic appear local…

    If it’s happening on WiFi, it will be your language setting. If you’re on android, try setting up a different user profile with different language and locations settings as a quick test.


  • First macbook air was ethereal, nas was bitbucket, first macbook pros deathstar then dreadnaught, second bigger nas was abyss…

    More recently I’ve been using Neal Stevenson characters and themes.

    Mobile wass “primer”, high spec laptop was “reason”, workhorse laptop was “chevaline”…

    Work servers I’ve always liked two themes:

    Chaos or medications:

    Anarchy, bedlam, disturbed, chaos, mayhem, futility, entropy, maelstrom,

    Sudafed, NyQuil, Tylenol, advil, codeine, morphine, panadol, Valium,
