long time ago I used to be able to send email using my own server, but then block lists came out, and I got put on a spam list for not having a proper domain. 

Then after awhile my ISP refused to let out the email. 

Its become a bit of a mess. I haven't wanted to setup MX records on my domain. 

I though I read on the echos someone would let anyone register their domain with them. I'll have to search for that if I feel like self hosting again. Before I do any hosting I need to figure out how to segment my systems. I've been thinking of buying a netfu system with pfsense on it and setup a single raspberrypi on one of the ethernet ports so I can totally keep the rest of my devices off the public networks. 

I hope your doing well Arelor.
