From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I mean, ever tried hosting your own email server in ${CURRENT_YEAR}? Might as well write those mails to a thumb drive and throw it out of the window.
I haven't. What happens?
Unless you jump through a crazy number of hoops, your domain just gets blacklisted by every spam filter under the sun.
At best all your sent mail goes to junk, at worst it is just blocked altogether.
Convincing the popular small services to not mark new mail services as junk is extremely difficult
I remember when it was considered a mark of professionalism for a web developer to have an email on their own domain. At some point that changed. I think after GMail came out it was so good that everybody switched to that.
Ah that's still totally possible, I do that.
The domain isn't all that important, the IP address of the mail server is. I pay an external service that provides a mail server, and my DNS records point to that.
But hosting my own mail server, while possible is not recommended.
