No, but it's a Google Apps domain. Free, too, from before they cancelled their free plans.
Yes, same here, using Google Apps. It was free that time.

#63I moved my mail to Webfaction a couple of weeks ago, and I'm in the process of moving my web sites there. Just using Spam Assassin set to delete anything scored 5 or higher, and send to the spam folder anything between 1-4 has more than good enough so far. Webmail is Roundcube, but I'm mostly using Thunderbird.
Webfaction is technically shared hosting, but it's shared hosting unlike anything I've seen elsewhere. I can write my own procmail recipes, set up custom php.ini files for each app I host, and I have SSH access. You could probably install Pine or Mutt id you wanted to.

#64http://www.epost.de is my favorite email for personal use, but it's only in Germany. You have to identify yourself in one of their branch offices, so all their users are registered. Email for free, fax for free and you can send billable letters via web interface. You can even send a pdf, they print it out and send it in an envelope. Or upload a cd-rom, they will burn it and send afterwards. Encrypted messages, authenticator via mobile phone and when you are on holiday they can scan your letters if you want and send them to you as email.

#65Yes, but not for long. Migrating to a self-hosted mail server is one of my top priorities [1] for 2013. [1] - http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2013/03/26/andrew_we...
I'm highly interested in doing the same, can you recommend any resources that describe the process of setting up a self-hosted mail server?

#68I am using gmail to host my mail, but I am not however using the @gmail address to receive mail on. The risk of losing access to my gmail account without any possible recourse is just too big. I'm not afraid of being hacked, but much more so of being wrongly identified as a spammer or whatever else gets you banned from google these days. I'm using addresses at my own domain as my primary address and I'll have my mail…

#69No. Using email with your own domain is very important , especially if you use it for contacting a real person: it unties your email address from a provider . The biggest benefit is that you could switch provider very easily without ever changing your email. Once you've done so, it no longer matters which email service you are using. If the service ever decided to shut down or shut you off, you can just switch to ano…
What if you lose your domain?

I too want to do this but I haven't seen a self-hosted interface and spam filtering that really competes with Gmail :(
Greylisting, Amavis with Spamassassin, SPF, DKIM works for me, but your mileage may vary.
