[TriLUG] Mail Recommedation.

[John Vaughters via TriLUG]

I have been thinking about setting up a mail server on Linode to see if I could manage it. With two goals. 1) see if I can stay off the spam lists and 2) Learn how to manage an email server effectively. It would certainly be nice to be able to remove 3rd party services, but be ready to put the time in. Mail Server Management is not just a side Gig anymore. There are alot of pitfalls sue to spam and virus management. 

Here is the option I was looking at. I have yet to pull the trigger however.

Matt,

I, too  have heard good things about proton mail. I can not speak to problem they may or may not have with controlling spammers on a hosted service. I have used bluehost for years and nearly dumped them when their shared services got onto blacklists. That problem has gone away. I used to get phone support but they now fall back on chat and the occasional nincompoop.

Also check out panix.com - I intended to go there when bluehost started being problematic but it's more pricey and I was lazy to make the switch.

For awhile I dodged the blacklist problem with Amazon's free tier of Simple Email Service for smtp.

Personally I use Runbox and have never had any problems with being marked as spam.
