I ran my own mail server for more than a decade. Same IP the entire time, never sent spam (for personal use only.) Finally threw in the hat last year and moved to a paid service - it was a pain to tell every person I sent mail to to check their spam box and mark me as not spam or add me to contacts. Beyond that, gmail smtp servers kept getting onto spam blocklists, so I wasn't receiving mail from gmail at times.
- dugite-code 3y agoGmail and Microsoft require a certain volume of email hitting their servers otherwise they forget you exist. I ended up switching to using Amazon's SES service to keep my selfhosted server running. I use seperate emails for each service much like a seperate password so I'm heavily invested in keeping my own server at least for recieving.
