I set up my own mail server. It took me a few hours with a few minor hiccups along the way, but after contacting Microsoft and AT&T to get my IP removed from their block lists and asking family and friends to mark my emails as "Not Spam", I am now in control of my email and it feels amazing.

I have also taken the time to run my own calendar and contact services.

For mail, I run Postfix and Dovecot over SSL and access email from my iPhone or web browser using Squirrelmail.

For contacts and calendar I use Baikal.

Yikes.

Isn't this exactly the problem with running your own email setup? And have you not found that keeping on the white side of mail server lists is a constant and moving target?

May I ask, do you send a lot of mail and have multiple accounts? (I do, so this overhead would be impossible for me to manage personally)
