In my experience, many business applications now run on the Web or are being upgraded to be. Where I work Windows pcs endure only for those who have to do technical drawing, most terminals are Ubuntu updated by ansible scripts and connected to an active directory domain running on Samba. The few PCs with Windows are slowly disappearing as hardware is upgraded ( medium-sized company with about sixty PCs ). There are also a couple of Mac's used by in-house developers/IT.

Windows is only for games; macOS and Linux are for work. Once they catch up, it will be bye-bye Windows.
Again ? We are in a self-hosting community and users must be helped to be autonomous, e-mail is a service that needs to be regained more than others, especially now that it is easier to manage and is for the most part hostage of large companies that make their own interests at the expense of users.
Someone will make mistakes , someone will miss a few emails and it is absolutely normal and physiological as for all kinds of services.
I got tired of discussing it with you, Your attitude is neither appropriate nor constructive for this community.
Welcome to my blocklist.
It's just a myth put around by some inexperienced user who has tried to set up a mail server or more likely by large companies who wants to give you ‘for free' the service.
It was actually much more difficult to manage them many years ago when you had to invent by hand how to filter spam. Now with common standards supported by many pre-packaged solutions, everything is much simpler and accessible to the less experienced. Of course, I admit that it takes a minimum of experience to make a backup of a text file containing the mailboxes and this could definitely be the toughest challenge 🙄.
Ah sorry, I thought we were in a community that deals with self-hosting.
If you prefer to use a free provider to also have to see advertisements in addition to spam, go ahead.
If you prefer to use one for a fee because you are not able to manage it on your own, go ahead.
It's the beauty of open protocols.
Unfortunately, in that case you will have to rely on a vm on some external provider or a smtp relay service external to your network.
I opted for a vm on the cloud, because at home I have a CGNAT network with no ip.
Turning on the server is not enough, you need to configure PTR , DKIM , DMARC and SPF. If your ip address is some blacklist it is necessary to have it removed. Once this is done, it is rare for emails to go to Spam other than for content control.
Thank you, I will keep an eye on them in case of any problems with docker-mailserver 👍
Until I discovered docker-mailserver 😉

I’m using it to manage a little swarm , the useful thing is that is easy to explain to a non IT person how to log in and restart a service if needed.
