- It like fiddling around with advanced features, like wildcard addresses, server side filtering (via dovecot-sieve), and other fun stuff. For instance, a friend once was mulling on facebook on detecting tone of email and rejecting ones that were too mean. I made a simple python script that attempted this and had her try it out. It was funny. (See previous point about hobby)
- I figure that being on your own server you're at least slightly less likely to be a victim of a big internal platform hack like twitter's recent one, or state-run ones.
- It feels slightly badass.
I don't recommend it to people who don't want to do it for fun.
- It's a hobby and I enjoy it
