That’s a great thread. That’s why you don’t want to host your own email. Well, if you’re planning to use it as a daily driver for an extended period of time. There’s guys who are out there with basically just managing that process as their full time job. (Not really, but almost — when does a hobbyist have that kind of free time?). You know there’s things like shinobi and private Servers that would likely see your server responding to port 25 in a few hours and it’s going to be game on for how good your security practices have been.
I don’t want to expose my internal network to that as I’ll likely have file servers not too far off with security practices that are intended to be behind a firewall.
But hey, if the guy wants to do it, he can.
Also of note which may be mentioned elsewhere-without business class service at your location, most ISP’s block mail, http and other ports at their side, so you’re dead in the water anyway.
