As the title reads, I really want to begin hosting my own email server again. I’m sick of the poor quality of the service providers out there. Damnit all I want/need is a reliable IMAP/SMTP provider. I spent 3 hours getting off of Hostinger and on to Zoho. I just hope Zoho won’t suck. It’s great for now but we’ll see.

Is the prevailing advice still not to bother with self-hosting email?

    And yet I get emails regularly about outages from Google. I used to be hosted on a grandfathered google workspaces. For some reason they refuse to unsubscribe me from the admin emails. This month has had 6 emails on 2 different issues(290173792 and 290269440). This year… 63 emails.

    There’s definitely outages galore… and I’ve had several affect me/my users in different ways. They usually clear up pretty quick… but to say none… I can’t agree.

    It’s quite likely that you think it hasn’t affected you, but an outage occurred for you overnight or during a time you didn’t really notice.
