Re: Suggestions for a more privacy conscious email provider

["Michael S. Singh" <michael () wadadli me>]

Hi Filip I appreciate the response!

Do you host the mail server with a third party provider (e.g Rackspace) 
or do you have an 'in-house' solution. If you're able to elaborate more
on your setup, I would love to read more about it.

I am considering purchasing a Raspberry Pi and hosting my own, as it
seems worth the experience. However does it require that I have my own
DNS server and a static IP address in order to connect to the mail
server from anywhere in the world?
