Run your own Linux server and use backup to avoid quotas on mailboxes.
You can only run your own server if you have port 25 incoming available.
Many people don't and even fewer will in the future. But your point is well
taken, and it is even cheaper than you show above. I recently bought some
POP/IMAP mailboxes from DNS Made Easy and they were only $5/yr. Their
incoming MX even does SPF checks.
Incorrect. The $10 to $15 a year service from dsnmadeeasy (and lots of other
providers) includes relaying the mail on any desired port to your server.
In fact, their Ad specifically says, "run your own mail server even
when your ISP blocks incoming port 25."
