Eh, selfhosting email seems to be a world of pain.

This has finally pissed me off enough to do the get myself a domain and forward from there to a paid provider thing. Keep your email address and switch out providers at will, not going to the pain of changing out all those emails only to lock myself into another provider... or even your selfhosted one.

Doesn't seem to hard, but tips from those who have done this welcomed. Also any non slop, non partisan articles on the setup would be great.

I love the idea of being able to make email addresses on the fly and then see who's giving my address to spammers and just turn off the tap, which I've heard of but I'm worried that's just going to get me spammed randomly.
