   At this point, I'm practically paying like, 150$ for 2 domains.
   
   How? Because of Email costs me like, and extra 50$ almost.
   
   Really considering making my own mail server... Unless it's not worth it.

     @sun @anonicus And even if you are, don't do it. GMail's "anti-spam" (really EEE) tactics make it pretty much pointless today. :blobfoxgooglycry: :blobfoxdisgust:

     @anonicus Making your own mail server really isn't that hard as long as you already have a server and control over DNS.
     
     For many distros there is email packages that you can just install and have work, but manually configuring qmail or exim and DMARC+SPF+DKIM isn't that hard.

     @Suiseiseki @anonicus Making it isn't hard. Keeping it from getting owned and used as a bot farm to send out phishing/spam, getting your IP blacklisted, is. By nature, if you have a relay, and you have to in order to have a functional mail server, they will see it and immediately start attacking it.

     Don't run proprietary software then.

     Free mail servers are now all configured not to act as as "open relay" by default.

     @dg54321 @Suiseiseki I actually have this problem currently with Gandi.
     I keep getting emails about Norton Lifelock subscription and Disney NFTs in my main box rather than being filtered as spam.

     @Suiseiseki @anonicus What's amazing to me is how many big businesses STILL do not have SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup properly and I spent a lot of time clearing our quarantine out because of it. I have everything that is a spoofed email without validation sent to quarantine because so many phishing emails were getting through otherwise.

     They use proprietary email software that makes it hard to actually set any of those up.

     @sun If you self-host, you can just install spamassassin, which is very good at detecting obvious spam with a low error rate.
