Is it useful to have your own mail server as a non-business? Just a private person. Configure SMTP and IMAP for it, sync with outlook I think.

Yay or nay, waste of time? What are your thoughts?

    I work for a cloud provider, and even if I wanted to, I could not check for outgoing spam, other than reacting to the NOC mails.

    Most mail server use transport encryption, which I can absolutly not inspect.

      The more realistic mitigations are e.g. periodic scanning for open relays, actually handling abuse email reports, RBL checking
