I'm one of those people who shouts in anger and frustration any time the subject comes up. Self hosting email is a pain in the arse. Google and MS are deliberately making it a pain in the arse. Spammers are making it a pain in the arse. Users with shitty passwords and compromised accounts are a pain in the arse.

But please, don't get me wrong. We need more decentralized email again. But what we need even more than that is less hotmail and less gmail. I feel much better telling someone to pay some $company a small fee for email hosting than I would telling them to suck it up and embrace the pain.
