I’ve been self hosting email successfully for 20 years. My goto article for this question:

poolp.org/…/you-should-not-run-your-mail-server-b…

TLDR;

• Mail is not hard: people keep repeating that because they read it, not because they tried it
• Big Mailer Corps are quite happy with that myth, it keeps their userbase growing
• Big Mailer Corps control a large percentage of the e-mail address space which is good for none of us
• It’s ok that people have their e-mails hosted at Big Mailer Corps as long as there’s enough people outside too

“Abuse”

Mae was warned that one of her managers was “a ‘fixer’ who goes after employees that were seen as stirring the pot.”

So basically doing their “managing job” in the best interest of the company.

This is also my only question.

Check out “Run your own mail server” by Michael W. Lucas (mwl.io/nonfiction/tools). I read it twice, highly recommend. I’ve been self hosting email for 20 years. No issues if you have half a brain. I applaud your enthusiasm, we need more independence email hosting. Thanks!

Yeah I checked out of Nostr after CSAM started appearing in my feed. That really sucked because I liked the technology, but there’s a line to be drawn.

‘97 was peak MS Office!

Not OP, but yes, yes I have met some people.

The seriousness of some of the comments here is way out of sync with the tongue-in-cheek writing style of The Register.

It’s The Register!

I’m confused too. Nowadays everyone is fighting everyone? 🤷‍♂️ Alright, back to IRC it is.
