I've been running my own mail server for 10 years. It fought me for nearly a year before I got it configured correctly, but since then I haven't had to do anything other than updates. Works great, no delivery issues and no spam to speak of.
I'd love to recommend running your own server, but I really don't. It's terrible and you'll hate it.
Also don't run your own server and let your boy/girlfriend to use it as their primary account unless you're cool with administrating your ex's email for the next decade.
- montjoy 3y agoI used to do this, but then I had to move and I moved my domain to Gmail “temporarily” so I could still get email while waiting for my isp at the new location. Short story is that I don’t miss the cognitive overhead and I’m still on Gmail. How do you manage filtering spam?
- calamari4065 3y agoHonestly, spam hasn't been much of a problem. Though I think it's more due to email hygiene than anything else. I use a random email for skectchy sites and have all emails to unregistered addresses drop into a folder in my personal account. That traps pretty much everything other than the typical newsletter spam and recruitment emails.
