and finally, most of the time we take email for the whole house into one server and don't have a specific room for it to go to, so your DNS for proton will be @ MX (protons details) where @ means this whole domain, myhouse.net

You can have more than one email server, so mail@myhouse.net goes to proton and mail@kitchen.myhouse.net goes a different place. You often see businesses separate their email like this (info@france.example.net vs info@uk.example.net)

Thanks
and thank you for sharing a newbie guide. We all had to start somewhere and I think we can both agree it's great knowing we have helped others

@Sroot indeed!

And thank you for the kind words, I'm always super intimidated to share these guides here because I'm still very much a newbie who knows very little.

Sysadmins have all my respect and admiration 😊
