New Linux server at home

[Eric Shubert]

They simply block the std ports, and there are ways around that.

You don't need to run a full-fledged domain right off the bat though. 
You might start with a private mail server that you can use IMAP with, 
so you can access your email from all of your devices (multiple 
computers, phone, etc), and the devices all see your email the same way 
(ie you file/delete something from one device, it's filed/deleted on all 
of them). You can run fetchmail on your private server to fetch email 
from your other accounts, and you can configure your server to use cox 
for your outbound messages.
