Hello everyone, nice to meet you all.
This question was probably asked around here but is it really possible to be your own mail provider?
I think I’m experienced enough when it comes to homelabbing that I could take on something like this.
I THINK im aware of the technicalities, I did some research but it still begs the question, is it really worth it? would it be hard to build up a reputation so that your emails don’t land in spam folders?
If you have a relay or SEG it’s not to hard. Dealing with spam can be a problem.
Availability can be an issue, and creating an HA email server starts to get pricy.
There’s a reason email administration can be a full time job.
I rarely use my email, the last time I did when I was unemployed to apply for jobs, the rest are emails I’m expecting from different services I use that regard 2FA or password rests.
I think I’ll be okay with not being HA though that is a valid concern I’ll be taking into account.
