@jwz Yeah, I ran my own email server until defending against spammers became a full-time job… and google still had the “don’t be evil” motto when I moved to gmail. Sigh

@grwster @jwz I ran my own mail server for many years. I currently run a mail server for $work; I absolutely do not want to do that all over again for my personal mail anymore. I pay a hosting service (not Google) to run a mail server on my behalf for my personal domain. Sigh.
