I've been investigating setting up a home email server to tinker with. In my investigation I've found that running a home email server is problematic if your reverse dns name doesn't match the domain name of the email you're sending. Apparently this is a common anti-spam technique. I have two questions:
1. How many of you run a home email server? How do you deal with this reverse dns issue?
2. How many of you are using secure SMTP (TLS encryption)? It seems like a good thing, but honestly, is the email going to be encrypted end to end? If not, why bother? The email itself won't be encrypted unless you use s/mime or pgp so its readily viewable on the disk of whatever email server it lands on at its destination.
Thanks!
