Why is SELF-HOSTING EMAIL AND SPAM such a problem?

BASIC SOLUTION BELOW /
INCREMENTAL WAY

How about setting up white-list almost exclusively instead of spam protection and clever filtering?

(so no need for spam protection if only expecting what you add as 'ok' on incoming whitelist...)

- just people you know are added manually to list as you start emailing them and adding-as-you-go
- and never expecting email from anywhere else

+ even a temporary 'Allow All' switch if really needed and for subscribing / registering to places online...

and then switch back to 'Block All but Whitelist' (or equivalent option) when done

What do you think ?

(especially as a 2nd more-private account could be easier rather than filtering etc!)

(Picture is a virtual thing I made - different slightly to text topic but I dream of Mail + Mastodon MERGING!...)
