[vox-tech] Hosting a email server at home but port 25 is blocked, what do I do?

[James Nessen]

I would go the VPS route.  Super easy to do and most offerings today will fit within your budget.  I have used both DigitalOcean and Linode (currently with Linode).  The cheapest VPS on DigitalOcean is 5.00 per month and gives you 512mb of ram (which isn't much), and the cheapest plan on Linode is 10.00 for 1GB of ram.

Hi,

So I have never ever ran a email server before but I do have a domain ready and an I'm willing to learn how. I was researching just how when I learned Comcast blocks SMTP 25 (yay Comcast /sarcasm). So I've come down to three options, use a VPN provider, use a VPS, or use a VPS but just tunnel through it to send email. I'm wondering which of these three would be the best security and privacy wise. I'm also wondering if I go the VPS route should I be trusting any of the providers on LowEndBox?  I'm not looking to spend more than 10 bucks on this a month. (The cheaper the better for my budget)  Any ideas where to go on this?

Thank you in advance, Lance
