I haven’t finished going through all of it yet, but it seems pretty extensive and inclusive. This is great!

I get how momentum keeps you on a path, and he admits that he’d rather use OPNsense in the wiki, but dammit, now he’s got a bunch of other people going down the same pfSense road to the rugpull.

  Rule one of self hosting. Do not self host your own email. Only pain will you find.
  
  You of course can, but there are so many additional hoops you have to jump through. I use my main domain for my email, but proton is one of the few subscriptions I happily pay for

    I’ve been self-hosting email for so long, I’m pretty sure my original domain (25 years) lends it’s respectability to new domains I host at the same address. The hell of it is I host on a resi IP address and have never had a single blacklist event. I don’t even know how that’s possible other than the fact that I’ve done it for so long with no incidents that I think I’m on a whitelist or something.

    This mentality is backwards. Hosting email has pitfalls yes but in a world where more people do it the less deep those pitfalls will become.
    
    If you are curious and want to host email go for it!

    Same principle as, “A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client?”

    I selfhost my own mail server (my primary mail in fact).
    
    My LE certs expired on Christmas eve, when I was also getting sick. I didn’t realize my mail server was down for a week until about NYE. Luckily Postfix queued all my emails and there was nothing important lost, but I am reevaluating self hosting my mail server. That being said, this was also the worst issue I’ve faced in over a year of self hosting mail. And it only arose because my dumbass still hasn’t automated my certificate rotation.

This should be added to the Self Hosted community wiki
