alt Hacker NewsI used to self-host my email. I don't any more, for exactly this reason. And of course this applies to every other "just do it yourself!" enthusiast appeal. I actually want to delegate it to someone who does it full time.

What kind of issues you have with it? I am running my own email server for.about 10 years and very rarely have to look at it.

Strange example, because self-hosted email has been pretty much setup-and-forget for me. I’ve been hosting my own email for several domains on a $5 VPS for over a decade and it’s largely just hummed along, without needing babysitting. Very rarely, some ISP’s spamblocker gets a little too squirrelly and I have a brief deliverability issue, but those are rare and easy to resolve.
