@aaron It's kinda funny to me that you should mention qmail here, and in a - in my opinion partially deservèd - negative light, as I'm a peripheral part of a community that tries to patch #qmail to make it at least minimum-standard secure and usable. #lang_en

#qmail is a half broken sports car #lang_en

I blogged about migrating my MX (email) from self-hosted #Qmail, with Gmail as the front-end, to @fastmail: https://www.rainskit.com/blog/migrating-from-qmail-and-gmail-to-fastmail/

Many #yaks were shaved in this adventure, and I'm much less visible to Google, now!

The post is long, mostly because I needed to eulogize the end of 25 years of email self-hosting. But it might be interesting to some of you. And it might be helpful if you are on Qmail and want to stop self hosting.
