Currently using Tutanota but they've just retired my current plan and doubled the price.

I'm looking into hosting my own email. I would like to have encryption but it doesn't function very well when both sender and receiver need to be on the same platform. In addition none of the information being sent by email is overly sensitive so it's not a must.

Anyone that's hosting their own email or has experience/knowledge of Lavabit that would care to chime in I'd be greatly appreciative.

The former. The MiaB install is basically running a script on a fresh Ubuntu system, and the instructions stress that it should be a single-purpose machine. Mailcow uses docker though, and might be able to cohabitate in parallel with other docker containers on the same machine. I haven't tried Mailcow as anything other than an end user though.

Sweet thanks. Only other thing I've been concerned about is opening ports into my network. Anything you've done to increase the security with this in mind?
