From 909459e1369953a0d1aaadc87ffba168d03ea274 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 22:31:18 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?docs:=20unblock=20Mailcow=20=E2=80=94=20move=20?= =?UTF-8?q?to=20Billing=20VPS,=20remove=20Frostwall=20dependency?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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.
