Thanks and cheers for being nice! Happy holidays to you too - I’m not really that surprised how negative the comments are here, including attacks on me personally it feels like.

If they don’t like it, stay with Gmail, I don’t care. I would just rather live in a world where the internet isn’t controlled by 2 or 3 big companies. Hacking a server for email and making it work like gmail was the aim, and I did it in less than an hour. Some people on here are pissed that I didn’t consider every eventuality, and filtering, and spam and this and that. Fine, but attacks on me as a person reflect more on who you are as a person.

If you don’t like how I wrote or setup the server, do one and make one yourself - or just stay with Gmail

dang must have the day off or something. The number of rulebreaking "shallow dismissals" in the comments is staggering. Hope you don't let it get to you! This community often thinks it's the center of the internet in my experience, and by proxy any mistake that happens is some sort of crime against the internet that you should pay for.
Cheers, I haven’t - I’m old & ugly enough to read them and let it not affect me. A few have genuinely good points, and I’ve replied to those. Some are just annoyed i didn’t setup a 6 node Kube cluster with 24/7 AI intrusion bot detection with a brand new UI with OCR text detection for image uploads.

Experimenting on the internet is what i did, and it’s what I’ll continue to do, despite what other dullards might say is a waste of time
