Saw this on HN earlier in the year and have been slowly phasing into my life. I have mail setup for my domain and assign per-site aliases (hn@mail.com, fb@mail.com, etc). All of the mail just forwards to my gmail that I've had forever, though that is more of a matter of convenience and habit. The key thing is, I can spin up a new email whenever I want since I am the wildcard, and I control the host and am not tied to the whims of gmail so I am covered on both ends.
- FT_intern 10y agoBe careful running your own email server. Some domain hosts have terrible security (easily socially engineered). I would love to know which DNS provider has the best security if anyone has done the research.
- quesera 10y agoRunning your own name server is even easier than running your own mail server. Running your own registrar gets tricky, however.
