And here I am, with a firstname@lastname.de address, running my own mail server.

  • People sometimes act like this is pure magic
  • Some providers only allow popular mail services on signup (fuck those), so I had to set up a GMail address that just redirects to my actual one
  • My last name is really hard to spell, so it probably wasn't the best idea, since I always struggle communicating that address verbally

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.

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.
