I tried the other day for 5 minutes and couldn't find the knob to do it, and just fell back to sending from my own server. -- Russell Senior [email protected] On Sun, Sep 20, 2020 at 4:15 PM Michael Rasmussen <[email protected]> wrote: > You asked: > What are those of you who have the expertise to run an email server > doing? > Running it on my own.
