Finally done setting up this Akkoma server.But I haven't enabled the email functionality yet. Attempted to configure a mail server, but it was hard, and I ended up throwing it away.

you can also use my setup, which apparently is easier to get up: https://github.com/Yonle/mailserver-config -

It was a half-complete setup as I was exhausted from configuring the Postfix part. I didn't remember exactly where I stopped, but the result on my VPS was not the same as mentioned in that blog.
It's still a mess on my VPS rn, so I decided to stop the Postfix service instead of leaving it running. Wasting too much time

I'm not so good at inferring the last part. I honestly don't know what to do with those config files

install what's required in the dependencies part.
for the config of opensmtpd, it's `smtpd.conf` which you can check here: https://github.com/Yonle/mailserver-config/blob/master/etc/smtpd.conf
the other dir has it's own README that explains what it does and how (eg, in /etc/mail of the repo) -

@yuka or do you need a tutorial, coz i can write one@yonle I could understand the Digital Ocean tutorial blog format I sent. The steps are very clear. But it might've been outdated, which resulted in a different result on my VPS.
I just realized that the blog I referenced was written in 2013. Maybe it's no longer applicable in 2026.
