And here I am, with a [email protected] address, running my own mail server.
The pain of running this still beats having to deal with a free provider out there that either spams my inbox with their own BS or just skims through the data to serve me ads.
I have @firstnamelastname.tld since last name was taken (unrelated to me).
Typically use [email protected] when giving out my email to keep track of spam so I used [email protected] when buying tickets.
At the check in the person saw my airline@ email and askes: oh do you also work for airline?

I’m using my custom domain email with a hosting service (mailbox.org). Hosting on my own was a pain in the ass and you also have to deal with spam filters not trusting you.
Sadly I didn’t think to try to grab my last name until recently, and it has been owned for quite a while.
Nice! I have [email protected].
Congrats!
What setup did you use? I'm interested in doing this as well. I've already self hosted a NAS with vpn access using an RPI4 with PiVPN. It works quite well.
