This isn't the kind of thing I'd run - I'm still running old school Sendmail, IMAP-UW and Cyrus SASL - but it's good to see resources that make hosting email more accessible to everyone. There are altogether too many people who think it's their place to tell others they *shouldn't* self host email, and I think that's a horrible take. It's not too different from saying, "I couldn't learn Finnish, so you shouldn't even try". Actual, technical objections are fine, but most of the time objections brought up by gatekeepery people just show a lack of understanding and experience. For instance, the most common is "you'll never be able to deliver to...", which is ridiculous. Even if you're on a network that has a bad reputation, you can always smarthost through other providers, and you'll still have all the advantages of having logs and your own filters for incoming email, plus the security of possessing your own data. The Internet is a better place when less centralized, so it's nice to know that we still have people who haven't thrown their hands in the air and given up to Google / Microsoft / Amazon :)
