I use my ISP for all outgoing mail. Incoming mail goes through arbour 
domains to my on site router. I access my mail using Alpine (for this 
message), roundcube (web client) or squirrelmail (another webclient). I 
have next to no filtering set up. The router/server is an old P4 (it has 
historically been the oldest working system in the house) but will soon be 
atom based so it can move to a 64bit OS as 32bit support is going away :P

My ISP has been OK with me doing my own routing and so I have not had to 
worry about punching holes through their router's firewall. All they 
really care about is that I only use one IP :)

The squirrelmail I am using is master not the last release becasue I was 
having trouble with release. And is why I started running roundcube which 
seems to have a more active dev team. This provides my family with a 
secure untracked email that we also use for remote file transfer and that 
has no ads. (SSL provded by lets encrypte)

I use Alpine, Irssi and Screen (all text based) so I can use the same 
session over more more than one machine.
