  • So i had done this (with Adguard rather than pihole) and i think i was getting caching issues. Whether or not i was, though, i removed it and it looks like my router is handling it all just fine without the rewrite on the local DNS server.

    Some folks mentioned “hairpin NAT” - i was reading the wiki on NAT last night but didnt get to hairpin, but that appears to be what is happening.

    The conclusion is - my setup had been doing what i want the whole time without any DNS fiddling. I updated the original post with the speedtests.







  • I think that that is right that I fundamentally want an archive, not what a normal mail server provides. Part of my thought on looking at mail servers is that those would integrate directly with whatever other front-end/client that I’d normally use, whereas an archive maybe would not.

    And regarding archive-specific stuff, I am seeing some things on a search, but I guess i’m wondering if folks here have any recommendations. When I look at , for example, nothing comes up for email archive, just for email servers. That, plus what I see when searching, makes me think that the archive-specific stuff is either oriented to business or oriented to a CLI (like NotMuch, which was mentioned in the discussion here and does look cool).




  • Ive got some stuff that i think is similar to what you are trying where i have an excel file template and use python to read from the database and populate cells in excel and then save a pdf.

    There are a couple different options for python libraries - openpyxl, xlwings, or pywin32.

    It is annoying and goofy, but works. Excel can be very flexible with getting everything sized just right for what your final output/pdf should look like.
