yeah, at the very least it should be commented out so that you know it's not just setup and go.
I appreciate the offer! I've actually already got myself setup on Brevo, though I might look into docker-mailserver in the future. If it's alright, I'll ping you if I/when I do that if I need help.
Thanks for all the help!

yeah, I'm just using the default local mailserver that comes with Lemmy. the contact address is just a redirect to a gmail account. Didn't even realize I needed all of that. I'll probably end up just going through a smtp relay on one of their free tiers to avoid figuring this all out.

yeah, google/microsoft were rejecting my emails as I'd not setup DKIM or SPF for my domain.

looked through the logs for the postfix container, turns out gmail requires SPF or DKIM to be setup for a domain or it will reject emails. I'll probably just end up using a free external STMP service

I saw your signup. Did you actually receive the verification email?

I'm using the default mail setup proivded with Lemmy. As far as I understand, it is outbound only. I'll look into the mail server log and see if I can find any details
I've been trying to get some friends signed up on my lemmy instance. The issue is, so far nobody seems to be receiving the signup/verification emails. I am getting the admin user-signup emails, but those are sent to contact@<instance-domain>. I created 2 test users, one with a instance-domain address, and one to a gmail. The instance-domain address was there within a minute, but the gmail one has yet to arrive. Instance details: OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Lemmy: Lemmy-Ansible install, on 0.18.0, modified to removed network settings per https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/102 Any ideas why this might be happening? edit: looked through the logs for the postfix container, turns out gmail requires SPF or DKIM to be setup for a domain or it will reject emails. I'll probably just end up using a free external STMP service. This definitely seems like something that should be mentioned in the docs for those (like me) that are not familiar with the inner workings of email servers.

It's a company called racknerd. Been pretty good so far. It was a random black friday sale link I found when searching for discount codes. I think it was a link/post on reddit ironically enough.

like many others, I hosted my own for a variety of reasons.
- I like to tinker
- this was a chance to do a lot of tinkering and get in on the "ground-floor" of something I think has a lot of potential
- it gives me a bit more control over the experience, which is helpful when trying to get friends/family to give Lemmy a chance.
As for the cost, I have several VPS's which cost ~$40/year, so the cost is basically negligible.

I spent a few days trying to get a lemmy instance going through docker before throwing in the towel and just using the ansible method. This limits the amount of customizability, but the docker documentation is currently completely wrong. There are a few PRs open to fix this, but only the repo owners can approve, so we're basically waiting on that.
