Why You Should Not Run Your Own Mail Server
- 2close4comfort 12y agoWell that seems like it would be counter to what Digital Ocean should really be telling people not to do things themselves.
- raiyu 12y agoThe article headline is more of a play on the number of times a sysadmin has cursed because of the mail server that she/he was administering. It's kind of been a right of passage, though becoming much less frequent these days with the use of gmail.
- dozzie 12y agoWell, troubleshooting why the heck Google's or FastMail's message didn't reached the recipient or why customer's e-mail hasn't arrived is much more difficult than looking at your own logs.
- bediger4000 12y agoYou should run your own mail server, both personally and professionally. The whole internet thing gave us all a post office, gave us all a printing press and a newspaper. If we let corporations make running a web server or mail server or whatever too hard for a garage tinkerer, we as a species have lost a lot of freedom. Keep the Internet free: run your own damn servers.
