How To Run Your Own Mail Server with Mail-in-a-Box on Ubuntu
TUTORIAL Mail-in-a-Box is an open source software bundle that makes it easy to turn your Ubuntu server into a full-stack email solution for multiple domains. For securing the server, Mail-in-a-Box makes use of Fail2ban and an SSL certificate (self-signed by default). It auto-configures a UFW firewall with all the required ports open. Its anti-spam and other security features include graylisting, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, opportunistic TLS, strong ciphers, HSTS, and DNSSEC (with DANE TLSA). Mail-in-a-Box is designed to handle SMTP, IMAP/POP, spam filtering, webmail, and even DNS as part of its all-in-one solution. Since the server itself is handling your DNS, you’ll get an off-the-shelf DNS solution optimized for mail.
