I've moved some e-mail traffic to Google accounts, but I still run my own Postfix server on a machine at home, one I built myself. I filter spam with procmail. I'd like to set up IMAP with dovecot, but have not yet done so. But it sounds like I'm one of the few of us left.
We shall see how long it lasts.

It's been a while since I've set up a postfix install with an imap client from scratch. I'm debating whether this pain is worth continuing through and then on to the pain of administering and dealing with spam, etc. I know a few folks here host their own mail and was wondering what the consensus was amongst everyone with respect to hosting vs. paying a provider. I just discovered citadel but haven't played with it yet. I also know there are lots of cloud services that can easily take my domain's email for a few bucks a month. Should I push on with postfix, or citadel or just go for a mail hosting provider? Any experiences with citadel? Can anyone recommend their email hosting provider? Thanks!
