OK, sorry for hijacking my own (walter's) post, but this
Verizon dying mail server, causes lots of bloated messages and

message to move the users to another mail service/system, this could 
have been avoided a long time ago. Oh well....



SO, I found and old guide of how to set up postfix
on Rasp pi systems. It's vintage 2014 but it a place to start. What 
breaks or does not work, I'll have to fix,
or follow the suggestions posted to this list.

So tonight I'll try to order one or 2.

Anyone interested, or already has  R. Pi:

Any newer guide links are most welcome, especially Rpi-4. Surely there 
are more folks on this list than I that want a sub- $100 mail server 
that is low power, and thus can be left up
7x24, with a single IP address and DNS services or (2) more R.Pi. 
Running DNS primary services.


(links to guides for DNS primaries on gentoo-R.pi. are most welcome.

How doe this guide look for dns services on a RPi?
