My main issue is that my ISP blocks SMTP(S) ports, meaning i'll have to host it on a VPS somewhere. While i would avoid being indexed, i wouldn't truly own my data anyway.
I have a 300/300 mbit fiber connection, so in theory i could mount the storage over VPN, but that just adds more places things can go wrong.
Also, i remember from running my own mailserver 5-8 years ago, that keeping it off various spam blacklists is a job in itself.
- icebraining 8y agoYes, ISP restrictions are a pain. If they only block outbound connections to port 25, you could receive directly, and use a smarthost (on a VPS or an email service) just to send. That's what I did when I ran it at home (my ISP didn't block, but the IP range was listed on Spamhaus PBL). As for blacklists, that's not been my experience at all, but YMMV.
