That’s interesting. Is it easily preventable?
Yes.
ISPs block email ports on residential connections to prevent this.
I meant on the part of the host. Would it be easily preventable on the server if the ports weren’t blocked by the ISP?
Not for the average person who pays for a home (vs business) internet connection.
That’s a shame.
Why?
I can count on no hands the amount of people I know who want to host their own email server on a residential connection (and that includes myself).
Very anecdotal. 🤷♂️
How many people do you know?

It’s not a shame because of the amount of people we know, or how many people there are in total, that want to self-host email. It’s about the fact that it’s so difficult to set up, and hard to secure. I just wish it were simpler and more secure by default so that more people could roll their own and break free from ad-ridden and privacy-invading email services. 👍
