Thanks for the support, but I think we are on our own here.

What I am thinking about:

The tricky part, as far as I have read, about managing your own e-mail is that spam lists are kind of easy to get onto and hard to come off of. So, since I have accepted the fact that e-mail is insecure once sent (recipients use Gmail, Hotmail, etc), I could go with sending e-mail through a proper provider and receiving on my own server with encryption. Though this might be a bit cumbersome.

Any thoughts?




> spam lists are kind of easy to get onto and hard to come off of.

I have been hosting my own email since somewhere around the 1998 time frame, across four different links and three ISP's, and it still just works. Never been put on any spam lists that I know about.


Thanks, it is good to hear a different sound with regards to self-hosting.
