Internode used to be a high quality home internet brand.

My understanding is that loyalty is never rewarded for competitive subscription services (gas, eletricity, water, internet, insurance, etc).

I wonder how long until AussieBB enshitifies?

As mentioned below, have a look at Linuxbabe's guide and see what you think. It was basically set up and forget (so far).

The server I get through linode has a relatively small amount of storage. So I repartitioned the available storage of the default install and created a separate ZFS filesystem with compression enabled to hold the mailboxes. It's compressing at about 65% of original size and even with 20 years of IMAP mail in there there's heaps of room left.

And holy shit it is so much faster than Internode's server. I've enabled forwarding on their server so everything gets dumped to my new account, and just opening and browsing the folders/mail is so much faster now, both on my phone with the Gmail app and using thunderbird on the desktop.
