Hi, the mailcow user which you created, do we have to first run $ su mailcow and then run the remaining script? or we have to run the entire script using root?
Hi There!!! You add your A and MX record via cloud provider. So if i only have selfhosted VM + port redirection where i should set up A and MX records????
u forgot to setup ssl, without ssl emails can land into junk
Hi! Thank ypu for your video. My ips pèrovider have limit 100 email / hour. Is it possible to get aroun this problem with this server? Thank you!

Hi 😊.. can I get my VPs from anywhere?
Thank you so much for this video, i was struggling with installing iredMail and wanted a better alternative. Really informative and to the point content!
Amazing Video! However I have a problem. I tested my email created on mail cow on mail-tester and I get a 10/10 score . But when I send emails to Gmail and Outlook they are being received in the spam/junk folder. Any help what may be causing this?
You didn't cover the SSL step. Shouldn't we install an SSL certificate?
can we have both crowdsec and fail2ban or not needed ? is any extra setup for crowdsec spesific for Email Server ?
Hi !
My Antivirus is not allowing me to access the domain because of an auto-signed certificate for the main domain…
How do you fix that here?
Thanks !
Great video Simon.
Another terrific FOSS tool. Thanks Simon!
