If I could find a way to filter spam as well as gmail does I would love to back to self-hosting my email. I just can't imagine a time when we'll get anything close to what gmail can do without their huge resources.

I do the following: * don't accept mail for non-existing recipient adresses * don't accept mail where the sender domain is one of my domains, except when whitelisted manually * don't accept mail from hosts on the NiXSpam list[1] (unlike some others, NixSpam has pretty reasonable policies with automatic delisting after 12 hours) These three rules together work pretty well, I get only a handful false negatives every da…

Please do not use NiXSpam or encourage others to use it.

If I remember correctly they are pretty trigger happy with honeypot email addresses that are pretty easy to find on the internet.

All your competition needs to do is register to your service using the honeypot email addresses and your legitimate email server/domain will be blacklisted on hosts that check NIXSpam.

My ISP recently switched to roundcube for their webmail. Looks pretty slick, though I'm not really convinced it's as good as it should be. It's slow to fetch my email, and searching for specific emails doesn't work very well.

> It's slow to fetch my email... Yeah, there can be a couple causes for this. Sometimes it's the skin being used. Some Roundcube skins are quite a bit faster than the default; you might check with your ISP to see if they support additional Roundcube skins. (They are very easy to install, and users can select an RC skin from their settings panel.) > ...and searching for specific emails doesn't work very well. There sh…

If a skin breaks or reduces functionality in an app...

I love Roundcube, use it everyday. The only thing I wish it had was some type of mobile interface. Didn't see anything in the plugins. There are really no good web mail solutions with a mobile interface. I'd prefer to leave this account off my phone if at all possible.

I'm very happy with dspam (http://dspam.nuclearelephant.com/), and the Dovecot integration plugin (http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/dovecot-antispam)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I believe any host that runs cPanel should have it. Or at least that's my experience.

But no one "sane" would recommend a cPanel host, don't shovel shit at friends..

I don't get the hate. I use gmail and roundcube (on a cPanel host) on a daily basis. cPanel hosting is really easy to use and maintain. With a good hosting company, what's the issue?
