Whatβs the benefit of running your own mail server?
Discussion
Control of your content.
So I use a email client to pull my email. When that happens the client erases the mail left on the server. As long as my home machine is open this happens one time a minute.
If a hacker, the .gov, etc got onto my sever there is never more than 1 minutes worth of mail on it. To truly hack me for data anyway you'd have to get into one computer on my network at my house.
Additionally if anyone from any unapproved location did get into my sever in anyway I know instantly, we can make a few remote changes and they are out.
It isn't perfect and there are vectors of attack to any tech but it is more secure than cloud shit where the cloud provider simply has and uses access to your mail. Or simply gives it to the government.
Ok so physical server on premises.
Business grade connection given your setup I'm guessing.
First no I don't have my box at my location, I use colocation hosting but it is my box. The colo company can't even access my files, etc. unless we allow it.
Yes we can "get though to all the providers" and I don't know why people think otherwise. ALMOST EVERY COMPANY IN AMERICA has a website and all their employees are on a self hosted domain and the company runs its own server.
Like I said time to time a thing will come up with some compliance shit to verify but it is no more than clicking a link or filling out a form. It just tells yahoo/gmail, etc. yea we are a legit user.
I mean for all the spam people get, just I don't get how anyone doesn't get it.
Ok, that would explain it, they are not going to blacklist the IPs of a hosting provider unless they are completely nuts.
Yeah I see no issue with that setup.
