@brettm@swarm.coiloptic.org The initial plan was to use OpenSMTPD, but it failed spectacularly at the use case: https://mstdn.social/@hexaheximal/115052146389075944

@hexaheximal@mstdn.social the openbsd version has privelidge seperation for a reason, its only got the root process to open the ports, then _smtpd user for the other stuff. AFAIK the portable (linux) version works the same. Its done that way for a reason, security is most important for any mail server. Why would you not want to do that? Only good reason I can think of is you don't have root access to that machine.
