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.

Which part? Hosting the email server at home or the relay in the cloud? On Dec 10, 2017 14:53, "Fabian A.

It's really effective.My MX points at a leased virtual server and my home server uses fetchmail to pull the mail into local mailboxes. I suppose dsync might be used instead of fetchmail.
