Self-hosted email is hard (or really, impossible) for a high enough percentage of the Internet population that it is effectively 100%. My father has been using computers since well before I was born, is still working on rockets today, but I have to explain email technicalities to him sometimes, things that we just take for granted. It's similar in a way to how blogs were popular before a succession of social media megacorps took over; the average techy could pop up something on their ISP-provided web space back in the day, but the average individual online now could not possibly do that. Even dealing with a hosted WordPress or the like is beyond most. And even the density of capabale people is way to low to support friends-and-family. -- Chris Adams <c...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
