Hi Karsten, das ist das genialste Tutorial, dass ich jemals zu dem Thema gesehen habe. Du hast damit meinem Mailserver Projekt krassen Rückenwind gegeben. Tausend Dank dafür. Das ist so kurzweilig und cool gemacht und hat zwischen den Parts, die ich schon kannte, die Brücken gebaut. Genial.
thank you! mailcow has made the process so easy that its a no brainer for a tech company to run their own mail server - especially if privacy matters to your organization. now need to look into backups.
You are amazing in teaching, period. I've spent numerous hours reading this, reading that, many enthusiasts' websites on "How to", yet none of them were able to share the information the way I find it right - sharing it in such a way in order to teach the other side. Thank you! You did great! My server is running right now and it's receiving all the emails (tested).
This is not at all what a tutorial should look like. Surely you waste the majority of your life watching hours of video only to grab a nugget of what you actually came for.

You are the first channel I have actually been able to find that had any sort of tutorial and I had a easy time understanding how everything works thank you so much
Awesome tutorial, I did this as self-hosted on proxmox vm. I only needed additional port forwarding, edits to my reverse proxy and also my domain name host screen layout looked different to the one used, but it came up as in the tutorial. Scored 10/10 on the email test. Great job on the video.
Seriously good job at explaining the process - although I installed mine on a ubuntu platform, most of it was the same - so thanks for your video tutorial. It helped a lot!
By far one of the better mail server tutorials that I have had the pleasure of sitting through. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise with us. Much appreciated.
One of the best tutorials I have seen in years of watching. No extraneous babbling, just the facts. Seriously, this was excellent. My only mild complaint is the background music, especially one part where it had vocals. I am hard of hearing anyway, and have to focus to hear the narration. Thanks so much, and praying for your safety in these troubled times for the Ukraine!
Thank you for your excellent tutorial, Mr Opentaq. 🙏😎 Sound quality was plenty good enough and your explanations were very helpful. One thing I ran into after the main installation was done was the need to set up an SMTP relay server for my VPS. I couldn't send any email without doing this. This can now be done in the Mailcow UI. There's a section in the mailcow docs under Postfix and Relayhosts. Apart from this, I had a few other things to sort out. I'm testing mailcow on a 2GB RAM server which meant I had to disable ClamAV to prevent out-of-memory situations. I realise this is not recommended for a production email server but it has seemingly been fine for testing and has allowed me to familiarise myself with the rest of the mailcow services.
Thanks so much for this video. Every other video I found about a mail server was installing a server that had no GUI. Thisa make it so much easier. Liked & subscribed!
@@opentaq The reverse DNS ss confusing for me. You say that it's the host, not the dns provider. Does that mean if you aren't using a host service that this step isn't needed?

Hello and thank you very much for the clear and simple guide, but I wanted to ask you if you could also add the guide for port forwarding that needs to be done on your home router (provided that you always need to have a static public address) and if NGINX Proxy is also present Manager what should he manage and how? Sorry for too many questions but I think this part should be explored :-) Thank you very much
You are a marvellous person, thank you for the video. I understand almost everything that you said, and it was quite useful for me. A few times I skiped a content, and got lot of waste of time then, so It was a little funny to find solution of my problem in a passage of the video that I skiped :)

For better security don't setup a root password when installing Debian. If you skip this and only setup a user account the root account will be disabled and you'll get root access on the user account when using the sudo automatically. You may also want to enable automatic updates by installing and configuring unattended-upgrades.
For even better security use Gentoo, customise the kernel, use open-doas over sudo. Or if you have the knowledge about BSD use a version of FreeBSD or NetBSD, or even OpenBSD if you want maximum security.
Great tutorial!! Question tho.. would using a service like no-ip or duckdns work for setting this up in my home lab? I really dislike the idea of having a monthly bill of using a VPS and I find the cost of using no-ip way more affordable
Prefect !, With German precision. I've watched lots of other videos that skip some parts so you end up without a worker server. A second part might add a spam filter ? Just an idea ...
I am wondering if you can offer a suggested price to do this. For example, how much generally would it cost to lease a server with that configuration? How many people can it support (generally) and how much more per additional user if we're assuming say 50 GB per user?
Excellent tutorial; saved me a ton of time! Got this running and created a few mail boxes with a password that the users should change on first login. What config changes do I make to require users to change their passwords on first login? Appreciate any help. I didn't see any UI elements on the webmail client to change the password.
Why didn't you used port 587? Like these ports are supposed to used for SMPT delivery rather than port 25 which is SMPT relay and is blocked by most ISP and Cloud Providers.
Great tutorial, I got issues with mailcow's web GUIs (admin andwebmail) with port 80 and 443 since I already had a web server running, just change them on mialcow's configuration and now its fine. Also got problems sending emails since my server is hosted by vultr and by default they block the SMTP ports (solved by opening a ticket explaining I will not be a spammer).
Hi, super Anleitung. Was aber interessant wäre - Mailcow in Verbindung mit Proxy wie z.B.: Proxmox Mail Gateway nutzen oder Mailcow selbst mit MTA-STS benutzen, was wäre sinnvoller ?
@Opentaq Great video I tried everything step by step like in video and even downloaded your exact version and I get stuck at the docker part. Perhaps can you do a new video with the new Debian possibly. I tried it on the newer and was able to do everything but were it gets lost on that something to to do with the sql database. Im always up for a challege and boy this is one lol.
not working for me. When sending a mail, I got "orange screen with ERROR" but no error description... When login the admin panel, I checked all logs but no error reported in postfix or any other section. So mail is not sent and I have not idea why... However thks for this very clean and detailed video
I've started using Cloudflare Tunnel for 3 of my domains, and it effectively masks your home IP and does not require a static IP. Would this work for a mailserver as well?
Thank you very much, you helped me to have my own email and not depend on big tech anymore. My email is working perfectly. I'm just a little sad to know that the project doesn't support kubernetes with helm.

This is incredible! I am now able to send emails through my own domain, but I don't seem to be able to recieve anything. Any pointers as to what I might be doing wrong or missing?
Running Mailcow on homelab🤓 and use VPS as a Reverse-Proxy. Full control over Storage on your local server without paying extra for Cloud Storage which is also not under your control! It's like a Portforwarding from your Local Server to the VPS that expose anything of your Mailserver for you. You just manage the tunnel and mailserver on-Premise without anything extra in the Cloud! If something is suspicious you just need to cut off the Tunnel to your VPS and anything is safe again.
I have a setup with virtual hosts but with a dedicated IP address for this. How do I go about setting this up on an existing server I'm running with virtualhosts and apache2
I followed the tutorial to build the mailserver, it's working properly but i can't connect through smtp with a mail client, please what could be the issue.
After turning off ClamAV, I have mailcow running in a 2GB RAM VPS for testing. I think 4GB should be fine with ClamAV but it will depend on your requirements. 😎
Do you know of any information on how to migrate my email domains away from Exchange 2007 to mailcow. I have mailcow set up per this tutorial but having trouble getting the correct mail server to show in the mailcow dns recoreds. It keeps wanting to show the exchange server even after all the dns records are set and the mailcow server is set with a lower priority level than the exchange priority. Any hints or references are appreciated.
Reason is the DNS stuff. It is not an issue to have something via CloudFlare point to your local environment, but if you don‘t want to have everything in the junk on the recipients side, you will need to have a Reverse-DNS-entry, which typically is not supported with dynamic IP-addresses or non-business-accounts.
My email server is fine at home. Is that you need two IP addresses, one that you yourself and one that can be used for a dedicated email server. Under normal circumstances you do not have security measures in place, you should not expose your home IP address, DDoS etc. Plus you, you have to update your dynamic address frequently. Using some scripts and so on. You can still do it, but rDNS is still a problem, some Email Providers email may classify your email as spam. I'm sure it's okay to receive email for you, When send email out, there are some providers that may not like it if no rDNS. But depending on your main purpose, if it's a personal hobby, you're sure it's okay.
