    Google got into the Linux space, into email and into open source software and it seems those survived the experience.

    Try to start up your own independent email server instead of going with one of the largest providers. You will never be able to message anyone on Gmail.

      Very much not true. All I’ve really had to do was create an SPF entry in my DNS and setup DKIM. Once that was done, it was okay.

      The guys I regularly exchange email with have had no issues getting mail from my server.

      That’s funny, I just emailed someone on gmail from my personal server.

      This just isn’t true. It’s admittedly a bit of setup to get DKIM, SPF, and all the other fun stuff required to send email properly, but Google will accpet mail from my server with no issue.
