I’m incredibly skeptical of the self-hosting email server claims. With the past 30 years of spam, most of the majors make it nigh impossible to do so. I know there are diehards out there that make it happen; it’s not as easy as it was 20 years ago though.

Edit: Very useful HN thread with multiple perspectives (not just my doom and gloom)

I believe the biggest issues of self-hosting email is the sending part, not receiving. I usually don't have to send any emails through my aliases, I just use them so I can easily block if they start spamming, or know where a breach happened by the email, as well as to hide my main email. I know there are other use cases though, so its fair to share concerns

I use Addy.io and Aliasvault for email alias'. Aliasvault works just fine but its alias address' get picked up as spam more often than Addy.io. Addy is the way to go. But its not fully free. Alias vault as a password manager works very well and I like it.
