No freaking kidding. I just wanted to set up an address to like, send me server notifications and stuff. Not worth the hassle!
An ever-present torrential maelstrom of email bot spam has spawned so many hoops and regulatory checks it made this process not worth it. And that's aside from just getting and keeping it running!
Yeah, I've run one for decades. I keep thinking it will get easier but it never does. I get better at the old stuff, then new stuff comes up which makes it difficult again. I always had the intention to offer it to friends and family, but I've never felt confident that I could guarantee that it would work. These days I know what I'm doing, but I can never guarantee that emails sent from my domain will arrive. Google or Yahoo or Microsoft will sometimes just automatically mark things from my domain as SPAM even if I'm following all the SPF, DMARC, DKIM, whatever rules.
And that's all aside from the constant, unending stream of SPAM I'm dealing with, in addition to the constant, unending attempts to hack my server.
