Just think about it: I have over 4,000 members and have never had any issues. Many use their own domains, and everything has run smoothly so far. If you really want to secure your server, you can't do without Cloudflare. It prevents DDoS attacks and much more. The free version of Cloudflare is perfectly adequate for this. For years, online scammers (which is the topic of my forum) tried to take my site down—sometimes for weeks at a time. It’s only been quiet since I started routing my server through Cloudflare. However, I don't route everything. I only route the nameservers, the mail server, and, of course, the DNS. Turnstile is integrated, and I can toggle the DDoS protection on whenever I might need it again. All of this secures the server very effectively and doesn't cost me a penny.

It identifies itself as localhost.localdomain instead of its real public domain name. Spam Protection: Postfix blocks servers with fake or generic HELO names to stop spam and automated bots.
