A reasonable sentiment, for sure. I'm curious though, have you tried self-hosting email recently? Spam-assassin with razor2, pyzor, and Bayesian learning is really working pretty well for me. I train every 6-12 months based on my most recent 10k spams. I get a few false negatives but I can tune my spam threshold so that swings to a few false positives with one quick vim session.
Dovecot + Thunderbird even gives you client editing of server-side filtering based on all sorts of criteria, and self-hosted webmail (e.g. MailBox) is pretty good these days as well for when you're on the go.
- ryandrake 9y agoIt's been on my list of things to do "some time later," as I understand the tools have gotten much better. I suppose my belief that self-hosted E-mail necessarily means inadequate spam filtering may be a relic of a time long past.
- mcguire 9y agoSpam-assassin soaked up too much memory for my cheap, tiny virtual server. I recently set up rspamd, which seems to work as well and, while it is still the largest process on my machine, hasn't forced a reboot yet.
