@jeff But why? Have been running several mailservers (MTA + MDA) for years. It has been a bliss, especially with OpenSMTPD. There are, however, some caveats.

EMAIL ALT + MASTODON MAIL?
So happy to hear people mention email as self-hosted or something else
AND even problems I believe best mitigated by moving people to something better... The strangle and data mining by goigle is absolutely one of the base faulty points and pillars for evil / snoopIng against all our causes etc.
Would be great to move people from GMAIL to Mastodon as half way (DM's are used by some of us instead of mail completely! And I reach people on Mastodon 100% + it's healthier)
And I created the Mastodon Mail idea if you can search my posts or can send you it. Basically Mastodon / Fedi mail since we already have it apart as direct messages... even just some inbox type theme and look would go a long way!!!!!
GENIUS? At least as a non-gmail / Mastodon start? (They can keep gmail but move over making party and social more here if not activityPUB mail eventually )
I really wish twitter hadn't changed course since it gives people who would otherwise be on an actual freedom respecting network a sense of false hope.

Consider it purification on all fronts
It's natural alignment that reoccurs until the or people education is done more than just teching-up and the heads of snakes changing direction (again).
Consider it purification on all fronts and not too bad to do it again (we're getting used to changing easily and using more atomised code in better things).
