I have dovecot postfix setup on my home server as well. I use a virtual server in the cloud as my mx record and mail relay and have my home record on dynamic dns. It's really effective.

Hello Mike,
Yes, I am using a static IP address, but in theory, you could use a dynamic one.
Nothing technically would prevent email exchanges between two boxes, as long as the SPF records are up to date and the DKIM is properly setup.
Unfortunately, some ISPs are simply blacklisting full range of private IP addresses just because they are not officials / commercials.
Kind regards, André

Nice.
Are you using a static IP in this setup?
It doesn't seem like it, but wanted to be sure.

Hello everyone,
I have been using Postfix and Dovecot for my personal emails for
After being tired of reinstalling my personal mail server many times, I am currently writing some Ansible scripts to do it automatically.
I obviously checked the other projects, and did not found anything close to what I am looking for, so I am implementing it now.
The final goal is to have a box that once online, would setup itself, by creating the certificates, the DKIM keys and update the appropriate DNS records.
This is so far what I have achieved:
- Automatic generation of certificates using LetsEncrypt
- Automatic update of the domain entries: imap, smtp, webmail, etc.
- Automatic generation of a DKIM keys
- Automatic update of specific records (MX, SPF, DKIM, etc.)
- LDAP server for user accounts, with or without system login.
- Installation of Postfix, Dovecot and Roundcube
Sending DKIM signed emails is working, and the IMAP server is configured as well, although basic.
The postfix and dovecot configuration are not yet entirely finished. I am planing to add an anti spam system, and sieve, amongst other
years. things.
Although in development during my spare time, the system is normally robust and you should be able to run it multiple times without
errors.
If anyone is interested to use it, to have a look, or to take part,

Non static ip'd mail servers are also blocked because they're typically spammers.
