   Instead of discouraging people from running a mail server, I am going to start ENCOURAGING people to run a mail server. And then laugh at them when they come back and ask for help

     @sun Despite a lot of people complaining about self-hosted email, I never had any problems with it in the last almost 4 years I've been hosting it for myself. That said, in a company context, you must be a special kind of person to even think about self-hosting Exchange and a lunatic if you are thinking about hosting Postfix in $current_year.

     @phnt if you run a business it is more important that your mail is delivered so you buy a service, full stop

     @sun Correct and the amount of spam you get suddenly drops to almost zero when you hide behind MS or Google.

     @phnt @sun Also, you can use GMail as a bidirectional SMTP relay. You can set up an e-mail server now, then have it work with GMail to get around remote recipients' spam filters, and when GMail goes away, you won't be SOL. :blobfoxthumbsup:

     @phnt @sun The longer you run your MTA, the less frequent greylisting becomes. There are still a couple of services outright refusing to receive from anyone but big luminescent boys, but there is a free sendgrid plan to relay transport over in such cases.

     @sun @phnt Just for the hosts that need to go via some third-party MTA. Via `transport_maps = pgsql:...` and `smtpd_sender_restrictions = check_recipient_mx_access pgsql:...` directed to the same postgres table with 'FILTER ' prepended to transport in case of check_recipient_mx_access query; to catch DNS MX redirections as well as direct destinations.
