Has domain management gotten easier over the years? I had always hard how much of a game it w trying to keep up with making sure a self-hosted email server isn't blocked or flagged as spam.
That plus the fact that the receiver on almost all my emails would be storing them on one of the few big providers and it just never felt worth it.
- ryandrake 3y agoI basically don’t even have to lift a finger. Once set up, everything just hums along. Security updates only. I have very, very rare deliverability problems, maybe once every two years AT&T decides to block mails from my domain but I resolve it through their easy process. I have the advantage of having done this for 15 or so years so my IP has some good reputation, but I don’t think IP reputation is really that huge or necessary. The first rule of self hosting Email is “never spam—not even once.” Follow that and you’re in good shape.
- flagrant_taco 3y agoGreat to hear, thanks for sharing! I self host a Nextcloud server for the basics, sounds like it's time for me to revisit email self hosting as well
