BTDT and it was a huge relief when I moved my domain to Google Apps and started using Gmail. Unless it's gotten hugely more effective than it was a few years ago, Spamassassin is nowhere near as good as Gmail at recognizing spam, and spamfighting was the biggest of many chores involved in running my own server. I was constantly having to tweak and refine things to keep my spam filtering effective.
I don't miss running my own MTA. At all.
- dingaling 12y agoAs a counterpoint my home mail server has no spam filtering at all, and I receive at most 10 items of spam per year. Instead I spend time tweaking fun stuff on my mail server, like setting-up X.509 user certificate-based authentication instead of IDs and passwords. And transparent on-server S/MIME [ de|en ]cryption using Anubis. Stuff that the big mass-market providers won't implement.
