I’m thinking of switching my existing email configuration to Sympl as it’s probably less work than working out how to get DKIM working in Postfix, but I still want email on a system that I control and have access to the logs.
- Can I manage DNS separately? The documentation suggests that DNS management isn’t fully implemented yet anyway, but I don’t want Sympl to suddenly start overriding existing records in a later update.
- Can I move mail from another server by simply copying it across? It’s already in Maildir format.
- Is there anything else I need to worry about if I’m using Sympl for email and hosting other services for the same domain elsewhere?
- Can I manage DNS separately?
Yes, and when automatic DNS management is enabled, relevant API keys or configurations will be needed for each domain.
- Can I move mail from another server by simply copying it across? It’s already in Maildir format.
If it’s already in Maildir format (eg: it came from Symbiosis, or a similar Dovecot install), then yes, you should be fine copying the directories across, although you may want to use something like imapsync instead, just in case.
- Is there anything else I need to worry about if I’m using Sympl for email and hosting other services for the same domain elsewhere?
None that I’m aware of.
Thanks, sounds like it does everything I need for personal mail. I guess Mailman hosting isn’t an option though so I’ll have to use a different piece of software for that?
