It’s been about four months since I started hosting my own email again.

I have absolutely zero regrets. As large providers prove, now more than ever, that they are not on our side, it feels great to have that aspect of my online life under control.

I used the wonderful Run Your Own Mail Server book by the fedi’s own @mwl to guide my install.

It has been absolutely stable, I have perfect deliverability to the email empire, I’m on zero blocklists, and spam control is great.

If you’re a sysadmin, self-hoster, homelabber, ignore the nay-sayers. You can do it too.

thanks for the mention!

I feel obliged to mention that I now offer print as well, and that coupon code MWL gets you 10% off. (I make more if you buy direct, so I split that with y'all.)
