Recently one of the list members mentioned that he had set up his ownserver for his emails. At the time it didn't register. Can anyone tellme anything about this please? What are the advantages, if any, and is it very complicated? I have looked around Google and it looks rather messy to me.
Advantages?
I have complete control over what I do with my email
I don't think it complicated.
adsl -> ipcop -> mail server in dmz that does other stuff
-> Mail mail store
Do email eomes in to my dmz spam filter/web server and then if
forwarded on to my main mail store.
Disadvantages:You are in charge of you own destiny, get it wrong and you might not have mail!
So I run a few machines 24/7, it's a drop in the ocean to what the kids use in a day :-O!!!
I think if everything is on there might 10 machines whiring away, could be more if I am developing stuff at home.
