I still have one that in theory i can use on the VOIP line but I just haven’t plugged it in

Same. Connect is great

Check your vitamin d levels

Por que no los dos?

I was considering this but put it off as I’d just built a new file server paying 100 apiece for 2 TB NVMe drives. I’m not sure if I won or lost, but my FX-8350 keeps plugging along.

Never had that issue except once - if you have an IP with a good reputation, a domain you haven’t been abusing, and all your DMARC/DKIM/SPF records set, you’re good. I had one short problem when I moved IPs and the new one was on Google’s list, everyone else was fine but Google. Instead of a new IP I emailed them and they took it off after a few weeks.

Hosting your own email is actually not that hard. It takes a fair amount of initial setup but if you do it right, it is very stable and functional. Email servers are very mature, and things like Postfix hardly need anything once set up. Getting a static IP is the hard part, but if you run it on a VPS with a good IP you can just hang onto it.

Filtering traffic via (e.g.) pfblocker feeds and spamassassin kills most spam, and it is awesome to just create and destroy your own mailboxes at will.
