Was wondering what's the consideration with self-hosting of mail server if I have a domain vs purchasing mail hosting for companies.
I mean I understand some basic differences.
There's quite a bit of stuff to configure and setup for mail server, and including handling of blacklist, SSL, spam, virus scanning.
Purchasing is no brainer, just get and ready to use.
Cost wise there's a difference. Since it's a VPS (like Linode, Digital Ocean), you can host one with 5USD per month (with unlimited user) for example VS like 5 user per month (see https://www.exabytes.sg/web-hosting/email-hosting).
What other things to consider or know about?
P.S: damn, mod help me to move to the software clinic. Didn't know I was in programmers den when I create it.
