I’m trying to degooogle my personal email address and replace it with a different email that doesn’t collect my data and its secure as well. Any suggestions for that?

      I know someone who self hosts email and they are constantly bitching that people don’t get their emails

        Unknown domains often get refused connections from mail servers. Also, it can be easy to get blacklisted.

          Yes, because an unknown domain is practically guaranteed to be spammy garbage. Probably malware too.

          Don’t self host mail. Just use a privacy respecting and encrypted mail provider.

          Big mail does act like a cartel sometimes. It should be easier to self host. It’s a freedom worth encouraging.
