    AliasVault has its own built-in email server that allows you to create unique email addresses and receive emails straight in AliasVault. No third-party email service required.

    I don’t get how does that work exactly in a self hosted environment?

      Just like selfhosting email I suppose, point the domain and add mx records etc. I self host Addy which is a service that does that

        Neat. Do you ever get issues with your email being marked as spam? And if I understand correctly from Addy docs, you have to rent a VPS somewhere, or it’s possible to run the whole thing on your own hardware exposed to the internet?

          I only use it to receive email, so I don’t know about sending them, but they don’t go to spam

          As for the vps yeah I use one, but it was a great experience to learn about selfhosting. As usual the difference between a vps and a pc at your home is static ip
