I had great fun setting up Postfix and Dovecot recently.

However, I was very specific with always going for the minimum most simple solution. I do not have a dedicated database for instance, but use just mbox and POP3.

And I did not even bother much with anti-spam, I chose a super easy filter in Thunderbird instead, sending everything with 'unknown' in Received: header to the Thrash folder.

Getting accepted by others was also not much of an issue (but lots of details of course, PTR, SPF, DKIM, DMARC).

More details here if anyone is interested:

I realise that everyone hates spammers, but having a "thrash" folder is a bit much, isn't it? ;)
