Running a private mail server for six years, easy peasy
I run my own mail servers for small projects, though for my main email I've actually switched to ProtonMail.
It's never been easier to self host your email with projects like the following around:
- https://foxcpp.dev/maddy/
- https://github.com/albertito/chasquid
- https://github.com/haraka/haraka
Of course the usual dovecot + postfix setup is great for learning even if a bit complicated.
- Running your own email is increasingly an artisanal choice, not a practical one
- Modoboa – open-source email server
