From someone who never stopped: YES.
99.95% spam, and no amount of filters and training can do as good a job as Gmail (as much as I hate and would like to get away from Gmail)
I want to turn it off so bad, but fomo, that one email from that one person I knew 25 years ago who only has that email address ... fml.
You can get a mailprovider that allows custom domain names for very little money. I use Mailbox.org and it works fine. Also used Protonmail previously which also works.
What are you doing to get spam? Somehow simple RBL check + pipelining block most of it for me.
Yeah + spamassassin, I have probably two or three spam mails a YEAR that end up in my inbox.
Well, the address is over 20 years old... it's on many, MANY lists, lol.
Mailcow includes rspamd which learns spam using bayes analysis. Just move messages to the junk folder and it learns, after a month or so of training I get very very little actual spam, and no false positives.
I also use mailcow with rspamd and I have seen like 2 spam mails in 3 years. And even those were marked as suspicious.
Combined with aliases I don't really have to bother with spam or leaked addresses anymore.
If you want to turn it off, can't you just use some free service to forward messages to your new address?
I actually had it running that way for a while but a couple/few/don't remember years ago Google started rejecting all the mail :-(
lol may I ask what you have to do to get that amount of spam? I at most get one spam mail per month to my server and I have some addresses listed as contact information on my public websites.
Well, the address is over 20 years old... it's on many, MANY lists, lol.
