Comment on Using NGINX as a stream proxy
housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com 1 year agoI will use my VPS as an SMTP smart host because I have a residential dynamic DNS connection and many mail providers block those IPs by default. I have to see if my Oracle always free tier will let me use port 25. I have a feeling I may bit shit out of luck on that front.

Yeah I shell out ~$3 per month for the privilege of indulging in the insanity of self hosting email.

Right now I pay 15.00 a year for email through Zoho and it works really well so maybe it is folly for me to change it up. It’s more the principle of having to pay for email chaps at my ass when I have the technical know-how to do it myself. But Zoho is probably not selling my data since I am a paid member.

It really comes down to what value you assign to having private email storage… unless you’re having GPG encrypted convos, its probably pretty moot anyway as one side is going to have a copy of the email trail and theres a 98% probability its google, microsoft or …yahoo I guess?
I might be talking myself out of this, this is now a therapy session
