Interesting article, but I would forcible argue that despite having to contend 
with legacy tech (actually your mail exchanger does that for you) and various 
hoops to jump through, including DMARC, SPF & DKIM, running your own email 
server from an always on machine (ie not one behind a home broadband 
connection) remains eminently doable.

I've not found it anything like so trying to reduce unwanted email to close to 
nothing as that author describes. Non tech people I know with accounts at 
gmail, hotmail etc tell me they also get much less spam that they used to. 

However, I suspect the network remains awash with the rubbish; it's not 
delivered due to everyone being forced to implement SPF and DKIM and using 
online blocklists. It is still being sent though, by the unscrupulous spammers, 
who don't tell their unscrupulous customers that although they send out their 
crap as per contract, no one gets it in an inbox.
