I think if I'm gonna pay for using email, I'll just try to get any cheap VPS/domain and try to run my own email. It'll be more expensive for sure, but at least it will be my own thing I'm paying for.
- jjulius 4y agoJust depends whether or not the effort it takes to find a VPS company whose IPs aren't blocked by major email providers, and then ensuring that your emails continuously make it through to their destinations, is worth the cost savings. I share your sentiment, but I opted for Fastmail because the effort wasn't worth the savings. YMMV, obviously.
- leereeves 4y agoThe problem with running your own email is getting past the spam filters. The big email providers have basically built a walled garden around email by blocking anyone outside the garden as spam. They have no incentive to open the system to people who run their own email.
