I switched to Proton from Gmail a few months ago. Maybe it’s time for me to self-host again, which I did about 20 years ago. Things have probably changed since then.
It’s been about four months since I started hosting my own email again.
I have absolutely zero regrets. As large providers prove, now more than ever, that they are not on our side, it feels great to have that aspect of my online life under control.
I used the wonderful Run Your Own Mail Server book by the fedi’s own nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpq3n409lc4d9w06xuqurrkkh4mtdzc2afc5m07tkkc26u7p2lcq04q2kq5wq to guide my install.
It has been absolutely stable, I have perfect deliverability to the email empire, I’m on zero blocklists, and spam control is great.
If you’re a sysadmin, self-hoster, homelabber, ignore the nay-sayers. You can do it too.
