Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"
Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!
Honestly, building a mail server isn't that hard if you aren't afraid of the command line.
Lol wut. All veteran sysadmins know email servers are like the hardest servers to maintain n
Email delivery and spam are fucking hard.
Most orgs just outsource it for this reason.
Agreed, it’s the hardest kind of server to maintain.
True, but what you should really be afraid of these days are spam filters and hackers. As much as I'd love to selfhost my own mail server, IMHO it's just not worth the risk of important emails getting flagged as spam (both outgoing and incoming), or losing control of accounts due to a zero day attack or other means. The latter might sound far-fetched but I just saw it happen firsthand to a friend. The modern internet is a battleground!
Email is far too important to be set up in a fragile home server.
Unless you have concurrent redundancy with HA servers and multiple Internet connections, it's just not worth missing important emails imo.
