Does anyone have success stories about self-hosting email, or is it all futile and I should just use a paid service like Fastmail? From what I've found online, self-hosting guarantees that I'll get on someone's spam list, and removing myself from it will require a ton of effort (if it's possible at all).
@minoru i did, was pretty straightforward with postfix and dkim/stuff howtos
@L29Ah "Did", so you don't do it anymore? Why? Also, how long did you keep it up, and what did you replace it with?
@minoru Used to host it on my home box, but i don't have a home with a box anymore, so i'm just using riseup.net for personal mail.
@nm0i How long do you do it? Where is the server hosted - are you using a residential IP, or is it in a cloud somewhere? Have you ever gotten in any blocklists, was it hard to get yourself off them?
