Is it recommended to set up an own mail server? (alien.top)

Is it useful to have your own mail server as a non-business? Just a private person. Configure SMTP and IMAP for it, sync with outlook I think.

Yay or nay, waste of time? What are your thoughts?

I have my own mail server for using some of the service that requires mailing to my own domain.

It needs a static ip for best, which I have. But I’m currently lacking Ptr( if I named right, just a dns thing to do reverse checking) due to I’m not using business line and my isp doesn’t provide the service for home users.

Having one is great, but don’t use it as your main email service.
