    I meant hosting wise, at home or using a VPS? How did you get a fixed IP/ what are you using for a proxy?

      Whatever their doing, it’s not worth it.

        Eh it depends. I’m fortunate enough to be in a good IP block so I don’t get my e-mails dropped purely on that. It’s been a good learning experience and I’ve leaned on my own server a number of times for troubleshooting at work since I can see the whole mail flow. The only problem I have is the free Outlook/Hotmail will not accept my e-mails. Everybody else seems fine. All that said, I don’t host anybody else’s e-mail so I haven’t had any spam come out of my IP, and I would never in a million years host e-mail for a customer.

      VPS, I wouldn’t run a mail server from my home network. If you go with mailinabox you don’t need to set up a proxy, it’s pretty simple.

      It’s a colocated server. I provided the physical server and they put it into a rack in a datacenter with power and networking (static IP).
