As the title reads, I really want to begin hosting my own email server again. I’m sick of the poor quality of the service providers out there. Damnit all I want/need is a reliable IMAP/SMTP provider. I spent 3 hours getting off of Hostinger and on to Zoho. I just hope Zoho won’t suck. It’s great for now but we’ll see.

Is the prevailing advice still not to bother with self-hosting email?

    Unless you are committed to it, it isn’t worth it, I personally run my own but I have ran it for awhile and my IP seems to have good reputation but it is fairly difficult to get delivery to all major providers on a lot of IP addresses.

    You’re probably better off using email hosting unless you are committed to deal with the headache.

      If there were some considerable advantage, I would put up with the pain. Currently, Zoho is only 1.50 per month with 10GB of storage which is decent.
