As the title reads, I really want to begin hosting my own email server again. I’m sick of the poor quality of the service providers out there. Damnit all I want/need is a reliable IMAP/SMTP provider. I spent 3 hours getting off of Hostinger and on to Zoho. I just hope Zoho won’t suck. It’s great for now but we’ll see.

Is the prevailing advice still not to bother with self-hosting email?

    Mailcow includes rspamd which learns spam using bayes analysis. Just move messages to the junk folder and it learns, after a month or so of training I get very very little actual spam, and no false positives.

      I also use mailcow with rspamd and I have seen like 2 spam mails in 3 years. And even those were marked as suspicious.

      Combined with aliases I don’t really have to bother with spam or leaked addresses anymore.
