- fancymcpoopoo 6y agoI'm afraid I don't have the desire/bandwith to manage this myself. I just want something more reliable than google. maybe I should just go back to school to rely on the university.
- leephillips 6y agoI think people on HN occasionally recommend fastmail.com. It’s not free, but cheaper than university.
- mimixco 6y agoRunning your own email server is a security nightmare. It's almost asking to get hacked. I wouldn't recommend that in most cases.
- leephillips 6y agoOpening any port on your server is asking for intrusion attempts. You will get a constant stream of them, and they will all fail, unless you do something really dumb. Fail2ban is probably a good idea.
