So I recently managed to make my Self-Hosted mailserver an Open Relay. This is bad.

Just because you can self-host smtp doesn’t mean you should.

I’ve run corporate email on prem for years, for tens of thousands of users, and I have no interest in self-hosting email for myself. I’ve also migrated over a hundred thousand mailboxes to EXO, and there was a good reason for that. I personally think smtp is riskier than https.

It can be all those reasons.

1. Metadata and organization
2. Apps for endpoints

I cancelled my spotify subscription a few years ago and listen to music on my phone via an app through Jellyfin. I listen to music on my computers, including my work laptop, via Jellyfin. It’s super nice and convenient. I don’t watch a ton of movies, but I can on my TV with Jellyfin.
