That's mostly selfhosting, not fully selfhosting. I full selfhost my email, I 100% control as much of it as is possible to do. When I send an email to someone, it goes from my client to my server and out to the recipient's server.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoHow often do you check TLS certs the recipient' server provides? And you can have an additional route just for some recipients, that doesn't make it less (or more) selfhosting.
- mrb 3y agoStill, I don't understand why someone who was self-hosting for 23 years suddenly abandons everything, instead of going "mostly self-hosting". I genuinely think some people are not aware you can have free, reliable, outgoing SMTP providers.
