Internode and Westnet shutdown: TPG moves customers to iiNet (www.gadgetguy.com.au)

Internode used to be a high quality home internet brand.

My understanding is that loyalty is never rewarded for competitive subscription services (gas, eletricity, water, internet, insurance, etc).

I wonder how long until AussieBB enshitifies?

I've been using a shared hosting provider for my email. I'd love to hear how your self host goes. I know there are some loud opinions on the web about how hosting your own email is hard, but also some quieter ones that say it's working fine for them and isn't any harder than deploying something like MailInABox.

I've been self-hosting email for 10+years. I can confirm it's a pain in the arse... Harder from a dynamic IP too (since you basically can't get any reputation, or you might get an IP that's banned for 'x' reasons)

Postfix + Dovecot here

Edit: Didn't really give you an opinion. It's doable if you have the time and patience. I work in IT too so I'm pretty good at troubleshooting etc. but sometimes it's a LOT of time fiddling and debugging.

I used postfix and dovecot as well.

Basically walked through Linuxbabe's excellent guide and was done in about 1.5 hours with SPF/DKIM/DMARC.

I have my own domain and a static IP with one of Linode's nanode sizes servers for USD5 a month, works pretty good.

I use FreeBSD so used the guide here:

Sadly it is a little outdated and 1 step will fail right now until a new package is committed in to the FreeBSD repo (HTMLPurifier) which was removed as it was PHP7 only for a while. But yeah, have SPF, DKIM and DMARC running too. Took a little fiddling since I technically host for 2 domains but trial and error and all good now.
