I run my own mail server and recently started relaying outgoing emails to Amazon SES for delivery.
I had to get approved but they charge nothing for my usage level and it solved some of my (minor) delivery issues.
I recommend anyone running their own mail server look at it.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoThis is probably good advice, but it's not exactly "sovereign" at that point.
- calpaterson 3y agoI don't know how much sense it makes to be "sovereign" in a system designed around interaction with others but if it helps, my maildir is held on a disk I control and no one else is scanning it for marketing insights.
- larrysalibra 3y agoYou're not "running your own mail server" if you're using Amazon SES (or some other service) to send your email. Which is the point the post on Twitter is making.
- calpaterson 3y agoI am, literally, running my own mail server. telnet port 25 on mail.calpaterson.com if you don't believe me. Relaying is a central feature of email infrastructure and it isn't somehow cheating to relay outgoing mail to someone else rather than send it directly.
