[$] Book review: Run Your Own Mail Server

The most common piece of advice given to users who ask about
running their own mail server is don't. Setting up
and securing a mail server in 2024 is not for the faint of heart, nor
for anyone without copious spare time. Spammers want to flood inboxes
with ads for questionable supplements, attackers want to abuse servers
to send spam (or worse), and getting the big providers to accept mail
from small servers is a constant uphill battle. Michael W. Lucas,
however, encourages users to thumb their nose at the 'Email
Empire', and declare email independence. His self-published book,
Run Your Own Mail
Server, provides a manual (and manifesto) for users who are
interested in the challenge.
