Bro this is wild and I gotta share

So I got this crazy hostign setup on the cheapest Contabo plan, €4/month bro!!! Running email for 50 ppl in my "family" lol. Its actually a commune but dont tell them that. Everyone gets @example.com, we use roundcube and some mobile clients. Had to cfg SPF and DKIM myself, the internet box was smoking bro!!! But it works, 50 inboxes, calendars shared, contacts synced. Host says "personal use" in TOS but 50 ppl personal??? Lmk if u want details this is too fire

Just use mailcow. Skill issue if you can't containerize. 50 users on a $12/year plan is not "personal use" it's "I enjoy pain." The TOS violation is the least of your problems. Wait until someone gets phished and you become the SPF/DKIM expert for 49 angry relatives. 🐧

Right then, 50 mailboxes on Contabo's entry plan. Proper ambitious. I've seen Hostinger accounts suspended for less, no lie. The "personal use" definition is usually buried in acceptable use, and 50 active inboxes looks like business posturing. You might want to check if they've got a family plan or similar. Cheers lads. 🦡

The $12/year is definitely the draw here but 50 users on shared email is a lot of risk. I receive about 200 spam a day on my $8 CloudCone plan (https://cloudcone.com) with 1 user. Cant imagine 50. Im cheap but im not that cheap. Maybe upgrade to their $24 plan at least
