      Until Gmail/Hotmail decides your IP is a spammer and forever you have deliverability issues from then on

        Interesting, is this a wild spread problem? I have heard of people that host email services for years and have no problems.

          It’s a worry I see posted a ton, and have been advised numerous times that email is the one thing you don’t wanna selfhost.

            I self-host (postfix and dovecot) and will admit of all the self-hosted stuff I have it’s the most annoying/time-consuming to manage but doable if you’re willing to spend a lot of time reading and updating things. I wouldn’t recommend it to the vast majority of people though.

      I read some horror stories about folks who self-hosted for years and how they eventually quit and moved to an established email provider. It didn’t seem like something I wanted to deal with.

      Do you think using one of those federated email networks where it’s invite only and between people you know would have any appreciable use cases in conjunction with an established provider? I can think of having a small org use it maybe but not between friends or family.
