Why do you not use your ISP's E-mail service?

Because if I move to a different area I'd have to do it all over again and

that's not for everybody.)


Your last statement in parentheses is the best solution. You do not
even need your own mail server. All you need is an ISP that allows you
to have an E-mail address based on your own personalized domain. (Not
all ISPs allow that, but enough do allow it.)

If your ISP will let you _send_ emails with a From: that has nothing to
do with that ISP, then indeed you don't need an _outgoing_ mail server.
You still need an _incoming_ one (though many domain-registering
companies will provide that, often with autoforwarding too). Your ISP
cannot, I think, provide that unless they're also handling your domain
registration, as _incoming_ mail won't come anywhere near them.

The losses on both sides at Borodino [1812], 70 miles from Moscow, are the
equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing into an area of six square miles every five
minutes for the whole ten hours of the battle, killing or wounding everyone on
board. - Andrew Roberts on Napoleon, RT 2015/6/13-19
