Figure I'd ask here, but I'm looking to set something up for email in the future, I'm looking into custom domains so that if something happens with one email account, then I have more security in mind to pick up from there as opposed to being screwed.

I know that fully self hosting email full stop is usually not recommended, so I'm up for any advice anyone has on that end.

I recently bit the bullet and bought in to mxrouting’s lifetime account. 10GB, unlimited domains, unlimited accounts, “forever” (for the remainder of the time mxrouting exists) for the semi decent price of $100.

    I'm interested in this. I want to host my own Lemmy, Bookwyrm, Matrix, etc. servers but I find that not having access to appropriate password resetting is a deal breaker for not only me but for anyone I would like to join. I looked in to some email services but couldn't find one that wasn't charging more than it would cost to run the actual website

    With a Lifetime plan, at least it's a one time purchase and I don't have to have yet another subscription eating away at my bank account

    How do you like the service so far? Any issues with emails being marked as spam or being undeliverable?

    No issues so far, though I’ve only had it for a couple weeks. From the sounds of it, they go above and beyond to make sure they stay off spam lists, going so far as to cancel accounts that are being used for marketing.

    You do have a 300 outbound email limit per email account per hour, so that’s something to keep in mind. But I’d never butt up against that personally. But it could be an issue if you happen to get a lot of users, or someone decides to be a dick with “forgot my password” spam.
