If you have a good alternative email I'd be down for that at least. Hosting your own turns out to be surprisingly difficult.

- mnw21cam 10y agoMake that surprisingly easy. Been doing it for more than a decade now, just on my house ADSL connection. It helps that a friend has agreed to host a backup MX.
- Joof 10y agoReally? My email tended to be blacklisted and treated as spam and I had poor filters and search. Help me out here lol.
- mnw21cam 10y agoIf you send email directly from your machine by looking up MX records from a home ADSL line, then yes this will happen. Instead, you should send your mail via your ISP's outgoing SMTP server, using the mail submission port number 587. Your ISP should provide this service, and you will probably have to authenticate using your username/password associated with your internet connection.
