Just wonder what if my mail server went offline for some periods, and the sending party couldn’t deliver.

Will there be any consequences except I don’t get the mail? I tried searching but they all in the perspective of a sender and get a bounce, rather the other way around.

    No need to be that maximalist. Don’t self host email on a desktop machine you turn off.

      No, don’t self host email. There are so many things that can go wrong and it will be constantly attacked

        Sounds like you had an awful experience about self-hosting email. Want to share with this community so everyone learns?
