Anyone use Cloudron's email feature?
-
I've been using Cloudron for awhile (it's a good fit for me) and just noticed they include an optional email server.
Assuming I could get DO support to unblock port 25 (or else I'll just do a relay with mailgun) it seems like a no-brainer to take advantage of this, but I can't find any user feedback when I look into it.
Anyone here have good/bad experiences with it?
-
Hi @mervinrasquinha,
I'm using it and have made good experience with it. It's a lot easier than setting it up yourself (which is the exact reason cloudron exists).
-
@mervinrasquinha I used to use it. For what it is, it works and feels great to use cloudron mail. I moved to a different solution as I needed some more advanced features not yet supported by cloudron mail.
But if you need just some basic inboxes with alias support and spam filtering - cloudron works fantastic!
-
FWIW, we use cloudron email ourselves at cloudron.io
@murgero what advanced features were you missing? would be good to know if it fits in our roadmap.
-
Suggest this should be under Discuss, not Announcements
-
@mervinrasquinha I just set it up, 5-10 users on as many domains, using Sendgrid as the forwarder, it works painlessly!

Quota, a UI to manage the spam filter (rspamd post was floating around here somewhere), the ability to allow users to manage their own aliases, whitelists, blacklists, etc.
Cloudron mail is really really nice for what it is, and if the above comes to cloudron I'll move back to cloudron mail. for now I have cloudron for my apps / websites, and Mailcow for email.

@murgero Nice recommends
-
whitelist/blacklist and better spam control is definitely something we would like to add. Quota is actually easy to enable (since this is something dovecot gives us easily), just that it's not been asked much. Thanks for the suggestions!

I can vouch for it, I use it myself and several clients as well, without issues. There were some initial growing pains in the migration from a previous email host to Cloudron such as aliases/mail lists limitations and such. But @girish has been extremely helpful and in a matter of probably just two months or so all the email limitations I had after moving to Cloudron were gone. It's a solid server feature.
I agree with you and @girish seems to as well in adding support for Quotas and improved spam controls, would be great to have those. Always room for improvements, but the way it is right now seems to already be a solid choice, and I'd throw my hand up to vouch for it.

Yes please. Cloudron email has been 100% reliable for me, but it has yet to successfully identify any spam. I only get a few a day so it's not a big deal at the moment, but I can see this being a potential issue for some users.
It's a great feature though and one of the main reasons I use Cloudron.
-
Our mails sometimes get blocked by Microsoft, T-Online, web.de and so on. This is not because of cloudron but of bad IP (block) reputation and harsh (and sometimes faulty) spam detection engines. I score 10/10 at mail-tester.com.

@subven I use sendgrid with great success
