Is it required to have an email server to have a proper instance running?

I don't mind setting up an email server if so as it would be another fun endeavor.

Yeah, lemmy supports automatic config for your admin account.

Does that mean there's a script that lemmy will automatically set up an email server or just that it will connect to existing email server from configuration inputs?

[EDIT] I'm doing the install from scratch option.
