There is always a new blocker I have to address so my MTA can work with the majors. My regex and header checks is updated basically every few days (regex pattern matching is a "use it or lose it" thing so this keeps me practiced up.) One of the reasons for self hosting was to maintain privacy. Unfortunately, that's not possible because everybody else use free services that will data mine my email too, i.e. privacy has to be end to end otherwise there is none.
