    I recently got a confused look when I said that I pay for my email provider (3€/mo, but 1€/mo would also work).

    Many people don’t realize that operating an email server creates cost and they pay with letting Google/Yahoo/… read and analyze their communication.

        How do you get around websites that force you to use whitelisted domains? I had a self hosted email for a while and I was often considered spam.

          I tell them to go fuck themselves. A more serious problem is that unless you sign up with a provider that has all of the encryption/verification stuff sorted out and a significant amount of outgoing mail, your messages will go straight to spam for everyone else.
