Comment on How do you solve email?

I repeatedly see people saying "don't host your own mailserver". So what are we supposed to do? Just give up and let megacorps own all of our mail? I get it, it goes to those servers anyways. F-that. I'm not giving up yet another service to them. Personally, I have a VPS with racknerd and use [docker mail server](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver). Been using it for a couple years now and no issues so far. Just make sure your DKIM/SPF records are good.

But there’s no shortage of email providers who aren’t megacorps.
As long as you own the domain and have an archive of all your mail past and present in your own storage, does it really matter whose server you currently use to send and receive the email?
I see email as a carrier service, like the broadband line or the mobile service. They move the messages through, it doesn’t matter who they are (privacy withstanding, as with any carrier).
