It could be worth it. I've run my own mailservers for the last couple of decades, and it keeps becoming more of a pain in the ass as the 900-lb gorillas of the email world impose arbitrary new restrictions in the name of anti-spam. > here to see if anyone has recommendations for mail hosting services that > target neither "consumer" nor "enterprise" clients, but somewhere in the > middle (and which play nicely with Mutt and other IMAP clients)? Yes, there are a number out there. The specific ones I'd recommend are way out of date, but look for ones running "vmailmgr" by Bruce Guenter. They tend to be technically savvy and give you full control over the way email is handled for the domain -- it's not just a catchall POP/IMAP account. > For example, a service that allows unlimited "aliases" for a set of > domains, pointing to a handful of "user mailboxes" which actually > receive email? This is easy with vmailmgr.
