Is it useful to have your own mail server as a non-business? Just a private person. Configure SMTP and IMAP for it, sync with outlook I think.

Yay or nay, waste of time? What are your thoughts?

    Doing it for the experience and lab of it? Sure.

    Doing it to actually use, fuck no. Email is the most vulnerable part of any org. You need to have a proper spam filter, dmz, web domain, several DNS records, certificates etc in order for mail to even flow in and out. It’ll just be a headache and there are so many free options.

    If you want your own special email domain, get suite for 1 person at 12 bucks a month and have it all just work.
