		scarejunba on Nov 19, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to run your own mail server (2017) Used to host my own everything. One day went on holiday, thing went down due to complex sequence of events, got no email. Disaster. From then on, MX'd my shit to aspmx.l.google.com. and called it a day. Any hosted solution is probably better than this.

I've been running my own email since about 8 months ago. I have Google's MX (that I used before) on backup (with a lower priority). Will not help me with every sort of fuckup possible, but it will at least deliver the mail if my server is down.
