Self hosting in 2023 and why you should do that

I had my cable ISP call me a couple times about a business account a few times. I run my own mail server. A POP3/SMTP account got hacked and started sending out spam. They're very polite, professional, ask you to fix the problem and move on.

I'm surprised you got a phone call, when I worked at a tier 2, we would just disconnect you and wait for you to call us instead.

running your own mail server is an exercise in pain. not sure if you're brave or dumb, but props to giving it a go.

Heh. I've been running my own since the mid 90's. Originally I worked for some early ISPs, and continued it as a hobby of sorts. (My main personal email is on gmail.)
