I was in your situation before - also surveillance concerned and learned
computer stuff mostly due to interest instead of education. Im now
self-hosting email successfully from home - not mailinabox - without being

wants to migrate to home-hosting, then my own findings on home email server
suites and some guides for self-hosting are here:

2. under Webaddress / Domain and below:

I hope it's useful to someone.
