Interesting history and analysis of SMTP’s history. How can we prevent fedi and other open protocols from suffering the same fates?

    I’m going to add “bullshit” to the first. I’ve gone 2 decades running a few email domains on my home servers, on 3 different ISPs. Its not rocket surgery.

      I’ve been running one with a dozen or more users on bare metal at home for the last two years. A little bit of spam but otherwise fine. No deliverability issues or anything.

        Same here. Static IP though. I did set up another experiment with a haproxy vps just to see if I could do it if I lost my static IP, worked perfectly done that way too.

        Fail2ban, pfblocker, and soamassassin work great.
