I suspect I am in a minority as I route any email addressed to my
domain, hosted on bitfolk, to me via my ISP. I have always used the
smtp mail service provided by my ISP.
I know Andy, amongst others, doesn't recommend this because it means
changing email addresses on change of ISP but I cannot foresee me
moving away from Zen as I have been very happy with their service
since I moved to them several years ago.
I originally used the company that cabled Bournemouth before
being taken over by ntl/virgin. I shifted to Zen when I got fed up with
the service provided by virgin - moved from cable tv to freesat
at same time - and was happy that I had done so as we moved to an
un-cabled area shortly after.
I don't need the ability to get mail from anywhere other than home so
have never tried any web-mail service. I trust commercial companies
like google to stick to any privacy promises only as long as it suits
them.

Not really, other than it might be a hassle to set up.
Does Bitfolk have an SMTP server that I could use for this? Or
should I use Google SMTP server?
Is there some reason you don't want your VPS to act as a full
first-class internet mail system? I was under the impression that that was what
most
customers did.
If that's the favoured way of doing it, then I'm happy to do it that
way, I suppose.
