• I honestly don’t know where this idea comes from that email is so hard. I have set up many servers for business and personal domains with very little issues with spam filtering. If you can take a few hours max to read about SPF, DMARC, DKIM, & RDNS, it’s easy to get right. There are tools like mail-in-a-box that more or less automate the whole thing.

      It’s slightly more involved than setting up a WordPress install, tbh. I recommend self-hosting email as a good exerciseinn reclaiming digital autonomy. I was about to say I’m not a diehard, but then again, how would I know? 😂🙃

      I believe the biggest issues of self-hosting email is the sending part, not receiving. I usually don’t have to send any emails through my aliases, I just use them so I can easily block if they start spamming, or know where a breach happened by the email, as well as to hide my main email. I know there are other use cases though, so its fair to share concerns
