Yeah you can. The guy who makes it has done excellent work and has an active discord server. I love it.

[Help needed] issue self hosting lemmy and email smtp in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you to those that helped. As I figured I was being a noob and missing a key piece. Based off the instructions and my experience I didn’t realize I need to get a free or paid smtp service and point postfix to that server. Everything seems to be working now.

Oh I read plenty posts. I am no expert so not always easy for me to understand relating their experiences to mine.

I was under the impression that postfix is all that was needed. And my config.hjson file is pointing to postfix. The issue that caused me to get confused and go down a very incorrect rabbit hole was that the postfix logs repeatedly error about connecting to my Mx record servers.

The errors are coming from the postfix docker that it cannot communicate with any Mx server I tried.

[Help needed] issue self hosting lemmy and email smtp (vlemmy.net)
 

I am trying to setup my own lemmy server. I used ansible.

I can access my server via my domain just fine. But emails are not working.

First i had my mail and mx records pointing to privateemail via namecheap.

Then i tried using cloudflare email routing and their mx records.

neither worked for me with error connecting.

I thought maybe using dovecot? But self hosting email is new to me

I was hoping to use namecheaps privateemail but wasn’t sure how to get it working.

The email account worked and can send / receive but Lemmy and postfix cannot communicate with it.

Now I have no Mx records as I’m not sure what I should be using I am sure I am missing something obvious but idk what

Any ideas ?

What lemmy android app do you recommend? I have too many problems with jerboa. in c/[email protected]
