It mostly depends on if you want to have a web frontend or are happy to just login to thunderbird/sylpheed or other application. This still gets updated and works quite well: https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz it installs dovecot/spamassassin etc for you, so i guess i'm more vouching for the RPi. I think a 5$ VPS would be worth it, you can probably run other stuff on it too like XMPP Only note to it i'd add is that depending on your domain name provider, you may have some issues with DKIM/SPF, but otherwise it should be fine.
In Ask HN: Self Hosting an Email Server?
I am running a set of SBCs, but I read that it is better to use one server [1]. I suppose one could go with a VM, or portainer, or Yacht, or some other software to visualize everything. Right now I am using a set or solutions: * email * [2] * files * using NextCloud * blog * using Hugo * news * using my own RSS reader * pihole * to filter things What I consider to use in the future * pictures * using photoprism * citadel * I found some sort of suites like citadel. Not sure if that works, if it is good, or if it fits my needs at all [3]. At the first glance seems like a fun project. Links: [1] https://specbranch.com/posts/one-big-server/ [2] https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz [3] https://www.citadel.org/ All in all it is time consuming to setup up, and update regularly.
