That sounds amazing!
I'm all for software that greatens our ability to selfhost. I've heard it's very hard to host email. If open email delivers on this, it might just have what it takes to survive.
Ok that makes it so much better for me.
I'll say this much, the sign up was super easy. Only need your name and a hook to create an account.
Its not difficult to self host email. Ispconfig will do all the work for you locally, then you just need to set up your DNS records. The difficult part is staying on top of patching and block lists.
