For profit situations cause for profit problems. This should probably be re-titled, "I'd rather kill myself than be a mass commercial emailer again". Hosting your own SMTP is not a problem. Sending out tens of thousands of emails... yeah, that'll be a problem.
- johnea 3y agoActually, hosting a personal/small business SMTP server is made more diffficult by the year. One of the biggest issues caused by the big 3 is unpublished blacklists. M$ and Goggle especially will send email from smail servers to JUNK (or something equivalent) or in the case of M$, accept the mail and then simply not deliver it to the end user at all. Overcoming this issue is tedious and uncertain, and for some never accomplished. I think a true general statement is that increased oligopoly in email service is detrimental to personal/small business email providers, and primarily benefitial to the major service providers.
- superkuh 3y agoI don't disagree. I've been doing it since 2013. I had to call MS support with a little social engineering to get off the o365 blacklist back in ~2015. I just think op's post framing their mass emailing problems as a problem for all mail hosting should be noted as invalid.
