AliasVault has its own built-in email server that allows you to create unique email addresses and receive emails straight in AliasVault. No third-party email service required.

I don't get how does that work exactly in a self hosted environment?

Just like selfhosting email I suppose, point the domain and add mx records etc. I self host Addy which is a service that does that

Neat. Do you ever get issues with your email being marked as spam? And if I understand correctly from Addy docs, you have to rent a VPS somewhere, or it's possible to run the whole thing on your own hardware exposed to the internet?

I only use it to receive email, so I don't know about sending them, but they don't go to spam

As for the vps yeah I use one, but it was a great experience to learn about selfhosting. As usual the difference between a vps and a pc at your home is static ip

And DX on Android, and Syncthing to match their changes, right?

This is what I was thinking reading this thread.

Everyone needs to make their own choices but this is me.

Web apps are great but they're not the solution for everything.

Also email aliasing is great but this server is redundant if you have your own domain and use the catch-all.
