Is setting up your own mail server worth it? Is it a run-it-out-of-the-closet type deal or do you need lots of monies to put into it?
Is setting up your own mail server worth it...
Cooper Sanders
Gavin Butler
Depends are you setting it up yourself locally or are you paying for a server?
Jose Allen
you just need a domain name and an internet connection

no

sort of
>or do you need lots of monies to put into it?
not "lots", but nothing it free, and there's an enormous time cost involved
Anthony Gutierrez
Well apparently most residential IPs are auto black listed
Benjamin Wright
They aren't unless you live in a third world shitworld aka the USA.
But yeah if you're paying for a setup server it's a few dollars a year.
Anthony Watson
If they didn't blacklist """first world""" residential IPs what's stopping someone from just sending spam from said IPs?

Aaron Stewart
Are you saying no one should have the right to send anything on their personal connection?
Because that's what I'm reading over here.

>enormous time cost
Maybe if you're retarded and can't follow simple directions.
David Scott
Most people don't set up their own mail servers on residential IPs.
Andrew Martinez
>Is setting up your own mail server worth it?
Nope.

You don't have to run it out of a closet, but you can. And it's a god damned nightmare to get and keep right, so you're gonna sink a shit ton of time into it. Anyone who says different isn't keeping up on theirs.
The bottom line is that there's a reason that a lot of internet providers don't allow residences to set up their own servers. Too many idiots who don't know what they are doing leave themselves open to all sorts of problems, and plenty of people who DO know what needs to be done are too lazy to do the upkeep.

never gonna happen
you'll end up on blacklists in days
go do it so you can get back to complaining about muhprivacy and muhcorporations quicker so you can still be unwilling to admit they did it better and for free
Connor Stewart
Unless you know how to incorporate the Signal Protocol into your server, anything you do will be worse than Criptext.
Adam Cook
most major players will automatically send the mails emitted by your server to the spam folder.
> for free
imbecile
Gabriel Long
Just bear in mind that most professional mail servers and relays won't tolerate anything from a server that doesn't have a fixed IP.
It's a well-known anti-spam measure.
James Long
There's literally no upside to it.
>less secure than any provider
>costs you more
>creates a massive attack surface
>endangers your data, identity, privacy and everyone you're in contact in via email
You'd be better off spending your time hosing an arbitrary quarter mile of a freeway every day to "keep it clean".
Sebastian Cruz
the problem is not the fix ip address, you always have a fixed ip address but this is not yours. You need a reverse without this you will be instantly blacklisted. And thats a good concept. Imagine everyone can configure his own shity bugy and misconfigured mail server at home and could send out spam mails to everyone...
The spam mails that you are receive is the the result of misconfigured systems e.g. by ISP's which are do not filter and blacklist that detailed or give out reverses to easy to not get blacklisted.
You can create at home email server just for archiving your mails. Your email software will login like a classic imap/pop3 connection to your email provider and save it on your email server. From there you can send it to every client in your home subnet automatically if you configure it right.

Where does Jow Forums buy their domains?

Running your own mailserver isn't really an option anymore because most big mail providers just classify you as spam so that more people will use their shitty service.
Connor Gutierrez
>Is setting up your own mail server worth it?
yes
>Is it a run-it-out-of-the-closet type deal or do you need lots of monies to put into it?
you need a VPS because most likely, your ISP blocks inbound port 25. this isn't a problem for normal auth (which should happen on port 587 over TLS), but other mail servers expect port 25 reachable. your email won't get delivered otherwise
tl;dr opensmtpd+dovecot with virtual users amd spamd is very easy to set up
