Small mail server best current practices

I don't think there are many spammers compared to, say, 2005.

In 2005 you would get 100 spams to an unfiltered, widely published address, these days it is more like 2-5.

The continued lockdowns and protocol changes of gmail and yahoo are a sign of being overstaffed, "feature" oriented and yes, the attempt to shut down competition and the free exchange of mail.

You're lucky if you only get 2 spams a day. My parents are getting more like 20-50 a day on the email provided by a national ISP.

It's getting impossible to read emails, too many. If it were not for them being used to their email address and me being lazy, I would move them off to gmail.

I do not think so, I think the spammers are still out there, armed with cheap cloud email providers, but the "block by default" is putting a nice dent on them.
