What happened?

Does anyone have any recommendations where to host this service? It’s fantastic but hosting it in a VPS or running locally hits spam blockers so I was wondering if anyone has had success with specific providers?

Welp, the docs suggest OVH.

Reacher recommends the French cloud provider OVH.

They even have a dedicated guide for it (check that same docs page). Note that the script ovh_postinstall.sh has a little problem.

You might want to change su - $USER with su - $USER <<< EOF and add EOF to the end of the file.

I'm going to keep this issue open, it seems OVH still keeps port 25 open. I also updated the doc's script as per @medanisjbara's recommendation.

@amaury1729 if it helps I have had no problems since I raised the issue with a Contabo server after adding all the relative DNS records and requesting to be remove from spam lists. Took less than a few hours
