Like the title says, I’m new to self hosting world. 😀 while I was researching, I found out that many people dissuaded me to self host email server. Just too complicated and hard to manage. What other services that you think we should just go use the currently available providers in the market and why? 🙂thank you

Don’t try to be clever and change the port from 3389 to something else either

Scanners can fingerprint traffic and just blast the other ports instead

I (foolishly) did this a few years ago and luckily I had account lockout enabled

Constant attempts all day long - they were even able to enumerate local users and try to log in as them (fortunately they never could cause the passwords were random keepass ones)

Don’t do it, seriously
