Who else hosted their own email at one point? Had my own Exchange server for a couple years when I was studying for all the MCSE exams 😄

[JoshBecigneul]

Still try to host my own but it is certainly getting harder, and for me, requires the use of a 3rd party to provide anti-spam functionalities and a "clean" IP.

[buulam]

That's awesome. What keeps your motivation to continue doing it? Is it just direct family on it?

[JoshBecigneul]

Actually it's just for me and using a couple vanity domains. I know I could migrate those over to a paid hosting service, and probably will someday. The fun of tinkering with it is still high enough that I haven't abandoned it yet 😀
