One is that I can keep family email (everyone on the server) in the same ecosystem, so private information send between family members isn’t as likely to leak.
Another is also privacy – my mail isn’t being used to build a profile about me.
I also like the control and the ability to look at logs. If I don’t get an email, I can look at the server and figure out why it didn’t show up. It just provides more information for me.
