Friends told me self-hosted mail is too hard. Setting it up takes some work, but running it takes almost none.</p> <p>I started after reading <a href="https://poolp.org/posts/2019-08-30/you-should-not-run-your-mail-server-because-mail-is-hard/">this post</a> by Gilles Chehade, which convinced me to stop giving my mail to a big provider. My first setup followed <a href="https://poolp.org/posts/2019-09-14/setting-up-a-mail-server-with-opensmtpd-dovecot-and-rspamd/">his next post</a> with OpenSMTPD, Dovecot and Rspamd. Thanks to him!</p>
