The biggest problem with running your own hosted email server
is that the giants (Google, Microsoft, Yahoo ...⁾ tend to block
all the incoming mail.
Sometimes you can contact them and ask to be removed from whatever
list or be allowed.
In my experience that lasts about a week, then blocks again.
I eventually gave up.
Tons of bots out there looking for SMTP serveres too, .
- sam_goody 2y agoI run my own mail server and use postmark for delivery. It is really inexpensive, I don't need to rely on Gmail for anything, and after setup has required almost no interaction for 10+ years.
