I'm definitely not giving to somebody else my /var/log/mail.log, IMAP/Mutt access, sieve rules, nor ad hoc dedicated aliases for every website account I create. And on top of that, I would land on some US-based server for ease of illegal spying and my mail would be harvested for some advertising crap, all to solve something that is not a problem for me. Not happening.

Yep, that's the reason I host my own email also.

I'm working on a guide for setting this stuff up; still WIP [1] -- feedback appreciated!

Does this not happen when you send your emails to someone else? Mad props if everyone you email uses encryption!
