Think Penguin Mail: A Self Hosted Mail Sever That Just Works (TPE-R1500)
With the Think Penguin TPE-R1500 Self-Hosted Mail Server, owning your own hardware and mail are easy. Just plug the device in, enter a domain name, a password, and VPN credentials and in as little as 15 minutes the device will be ready for you to start sending and receiving emails. Everything is automated from the DNS setup to spam filtering: DKIM, SPF, DMARC, & more. Genuinely Penguin friendly with full linux-libre LTS kernel support ensuring proper long term support. The core hardware is supported by the mainline kernel too so there is less of a concern regarding losing support down the road.
