Re: Suggestions for a more privacy conscious email provider

[Filip Hruska <fhr () fhrnet eu>]

It's kind of a pain to manage a mail server.

Even if you have SPF, DKIM correctly setup and you are not on any common 
blacklists,
you constantly have to fight for good deliverability - some mail server 
solutions will simply reject you no matter what.
You might be on some obscure blacklist nobody uses and then you have to 
waste time sending blacklist removal requests.

I personally run my own mail server, but route outgoing emails via 
Amazon SES. Gives me all the benefits
of having my own mail server (domain aliases, extensions, custom spam 
filter etc) and saves me from the pain
of managing outgoing reputation.
