That is cool. This is the solution I was hoping existed, but someone brought to my attention the need for 100% uptime, an by inference the lack of redundancy on a home solution, so I need to reconsider what I am will to do.

Thank you. You and others are giving me a lot of options to consider!
Damn, it is so bizarre that email of all things would be the least operable by tech savvy individuals. Someone linked an article that explains it, and it truly is depressing. Like, it makes me not want to even have email... which is not really possible if I want to be employed. Eh, it's not like I DON'T already have free email accounts, I just don't always like the decision my provider makes.
I think this is the solution I was thinking about in the first place. I was just musing about it being part of a home lab. I have to consider whether this solution is is better than just paying for secure email.
For sure, there is value in learning how something you use all the time likely take for granted actually works.
A bit of a tangent, but the amount of emails my mother gets because she is always signing up for shit and giving out her address to anyone who asks is mind numbing.
Systemic implementation of security can only go so far, people really need to be more critical of the information they give away.
Yeah. I need to stop pretending. I am not that tech savvy, just aware of tech from sites like Lobste.rs and the fediverse of course.
Yeah. I am getting great suggestions, but also a lot of hard truths. I think a basic paid email is probably less than I would ever pay to get the setup right.
Thank! I will look into this.
It is just the catalyst we need to transcend the status quo and normalize technology that respects its users.
Neato! There seems to be a lot of solutions for running a mail server.
Yeah, I think it is time, I need to get familiar with Docker.
Yeah, I was clueless thinking I could run it from my home. Hah. I just wanted to avoid paying for a VPS. Which is silly because I buy too much crap all the the time and have multiple subscriptions.
This is actually valauable.
Wow. I am emotionally ready for the challenge, but not intellectually, and maybe not even financially.
IP reputation is such a new concept to me, but I have already come across it when the IP from the VPN I am using is blacklisted. Super annoying. I really have to reconsider my threat level because I am starting to get the feeling that I do not need it. I am a good boy and don't pirate much, mostly books. And for the naughty stuff... well I didn't feel unsafe before I started a VPN.
Well, you have given me a lot to think about. Thanks!
Yeah, it sucks that there is EXTRA responsibility on top of just the administration, but the internet is made of people and people like to ruin things for everyone else.
