I've got strong feelings about this one. I recently moved some of my domains off of Gmail and it's been great to add more granular filtering directly and watch mail bounce. So I'm hosting inbound mail. And I forward a bunch of mail. And I host a handful of mailing lists, so I've got a server with great IP reputation that has few deliverability issues and it dawns on me that I'm already running all the pieces of a mailbox provider, so I ought to just pull the trigger and make my own full one. Because I disagree with the whole premise that self hosting mail is impossible today and I have enough proof from my own experience that it works fine if you follow best practices and don't grow crustry and stop evolving your knowledge while best practices keep on evolving. So I'm going to go deeper into it, not run away from it. Wish me luck.
