Seriously considering setting up my own email server. Anyone ever done it before? What was your experience? It will be a lot of work compared to paying one of the big lads but I reckon it's a worthwhile learning exercise

Is it just for the domain name?

It's not difficult to set up really. Were you thinking of setting up Exchange or just an imap/smtp server with something like exim/dovecot

The main things to worry about long term (because you'll be able to work out how to set it up) are 1) IP reputation and 2) backups. You need to make sure that you keep an eye on the reputation of the IP (for example someone could start sending via your server without you noticing and destroy the reputation and therefore the deliverability of your own mail). Backups are easy to sort really but I'm amazed at how often people ignore them.

Yes exim/dovecot on a Linux server. I'm all over backups, it's something I do religiously. Reputation will indeed be something I'll have to watch closely.

You can subscribe to checks for mail blacklisting but a tip would be to also check senderbase.org for reputation scoring

You can automate that check (or alert based on it) by getting the reputation score by running something like: dig +short txt 160.0.20.104.rf.senderbase.org and generally any score under -1 is bad and will cause rejections from hotmail/aol/gmail etc. If you are at that point you really need to fix the problem straightaway and change the outbound IP (in exim.conf), so if you can get a server with two IPv4 addresses it might save you in future.

That's really the only painful thing about looking after a mail server. Exim config can be extremely esoteric but it's pretty well documented and there's loads of help online for that.

Yerra, main thing is that there is a huge uptake in email blacklisting recently. Some of my clients have been hit and it's a nightmare to get them back to normal.

That's a bit ridiculous to be honest, no benefit for that lad playing against people a quarter his size.

yeah so much wrong with that

allowing u9s to hand off is bad enough (not allowed here) but to hand off to the face is just ridiculously risky for kids) look at the amount of kids that end up slapping off the ground by the back of their heads.

if your playing with that guy, do you ever get a pas?

that kids needs to be taken out of that age grade and moved up to where hes more suitable.

I doubt it.

I imagine the tactics are to give it to the big lad and let him run it in. No benefit to him or anyone else on the team.

DGRulz

This is great example of why kids should be grouped by weight and not by age.

Bazzo

Yeah I said something similar when I first saw the video. On top of that once his age group catch up to him in size(or close enough) him trying to just go through everybody will ultimately mean he'll be a bit ****e.

I'm in the kitchen drinking a lovely Blacks of Kinsale Rocket Ship IPA and eating a Nutella and strawberry pizza. I can hear it on in the living room...something about "it's always been my dream"..."my friends and family told me to enter"..."this is my time"..."you don't know how much this means to me"

An absolute bag of complete and utter shìte

You're probably finding your man-period is syncing with the women in the house every month as it is!
