Once upon a time there were many mail servers on the internet. If your organisation wanted to receive and send emails then you would have your system administrator set up a mail server. He would add a DNS record and create a cryptic Sendmail configuration file. Fast forward a few decades and suddenly we have arrived in the cloud ages. The world of internet services is dominated by a few monopolistic companies. Having worked in IT for 25 years I feel frustrated about the ignorance and laziness of decision makers. Cloud providers rip obscene profits while IT staff is evolving into dumb customers instead of doing their actual job.

Fast forward a few decades and suddenly we have arrived in a monopolistic dystopy. The world of internet services is dominated by a few companies. Having worked in IT for 25 years I feel frustrated about the ignorance and laziness of decision makers. Cloud providers rip obscene profits and lock clueless customers in, while their IT staff is evolving into dumb victims instead of doing their actual job.

If you are like me then you want to stay as independent as possible. And that includes being in charge of your own email service. Maybe not for your employer but at least for yourself, your friends and family. Become your own internet service provider (ISP) for email. Hence the name: ISPmail.
