"3(ish) man-days per year working on it."
Wow, that's way worse than I would have guessed.
If your salary is $100,000 a year, and you work 40-hour weeks for roughly 50 weeks a year, that's the equivalent of $1,200.
I can't imagine spending $1,200 a year just to run my own mail server. The costs vastly outweigh the benefits. Especially considering that I'm far more likely to screw up all the rest of the security involved.
- __david__ 12y agoIf you consider it work, then it's probably not a good investment for you. I like doing it. It's like telling Jay Leno that restoring an old car isn't worth the money since it costs less to get someone else to do it (especially at his Salary). Some things are their own reward. Running my own mail server is very much worth my time. Also, my quoted 3 man days is a huge guess. I don't keep track of that stuff. It's 15 minutes or an hour here and there...
