Another example I read on HackerNews today:

This is just so basic, folks.
I absolutely hate webmail (and not being able to spin up arbitrary
amounts of specific-purpose email addresses). So years ago, I added a
mailserver of my own to my webserver.
I made absolutely certain to use a *gmail* account (much as I hate
gmail) and not one of my own self-hosted accounts, as my technical
contact for all my server-related services. It's saved my ass many times.
