docs: unblock Mailcow — move to Billing VPS, remove Frostwall dependency
Decision: Mailcow goes on Billing VPS (38.68.14.188) not NC1. Reasoning: - Clean IP reputation (only Paymenter on this server) - Sufficient resources (13GB free disk, ~60% free RAM) - Logical co-location with Paymenter for transactional email - Frostwall dependency was incorrect — email needs clean IP, not dedicated hardware Mailcow is now unblocked and ready to deploy. Session: Chronicler #30

|
||||
**Time:** 2-3 hours
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
**Status:** READY — Frostwall dependency removed (March 14, 2026)
|
||||
**Depends:** Nothing — unblocked

Professional @firefrostgaming.com email on Billing VPS. Self-hosted, $120/year saved, eliminates Plesk.
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** NC1 Charlotte (32-core EPYC, 251GB RAM)
|
||||
**Location:** Billing VPS (38.68.14.188) — clean IP, shares with Paymenter only
|
||||
**Previous Location:** NC1 Charlotte (incorrect — game server IP reputation risk)
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision (March 14, 2026):** Moved from NC1 to Billing VPS. Frostwall dependency was based on
|
||||
incorrect assumption that Mailcow needed dedicated hardware. Actual requirement is clean IP reputation.
|
||||
Billing VPS has clean IP, sufficient resources (18GB disk, 40% memory headroom), and logical
|
||||
co-location with Paymenter for transactional email.
