Hi,

The last google product that is use is gmail, and while searching for a solid alternative, many threads mentionned self hosting, which has been on my mind for a little while but here is what’s stopping me so far: 1/ it sounds like a single point vulnerability 2/ I lack the skills.

As for #2, I’ve been down the privacy rabbithole for a couple years now, I know there are a lot of resources out there and I’m not afraid to learn, I just don’t know where to start.

But I don’t see the point in learning if in the end, I just build a server that could die in a domestic accident, resulting in me loosing a lot of important data.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated,

    I have used my ISP’s email relay to avoid the IP address prejudice. A good ISP should have one.
