There's more than just me using my email server.

I don't want other peoples outgoing email to have my email address in
them do I?

You miss the point by a country mile, move each user's mailbox onto
their own gmail account, set up the the mailbox redirects at your DNS
provider. switch the server off, save electricity, save the planet.

Running your own email server at home is so 1998.

I have, approximately, 100 email addresses. I use a different one for
just about everything, but don't want to have an anything.RemoveThis@mydomain.com
server.

I would not want to have to cope with a ton of google accounts,
especially as I want to read all my mail in the same place, and have
the ability to add more or delete them with a couple of mouse clicks.

You are so definitely management material now. Outsource everything!

So, using this Gmail, how would you create custom email spam blocks to
stop certain headers? Or decide which RBLs are used? (there's a reason
I'm happy to use real email addresses everywhere, and why I get maybe
2~3 spam emails a week. I couldn't do that if I couldn't fine tune the
email server)

And what about the NNTP, FTP, web, DNS, DHCP servers and the
audio/video/other files shared on the server?

Ain't going to work.


Did you forget how to build servers in 1998?

Cheers for the tip, Ginge. I was unaware of that service. Bye bye
Postfix. Hello EVIL Google.
