if I have communications with someone through the internet with a homeserver. I would inevitably give out my IP address. Is that a bad thing? In my country they don’t have services like that, RTCing would be a bit sluggish using available euro servers.

    In the best case yes. Although there are some providers that allow you to proxy outgoing SMTP connections through their highly trust rated servers. But that at point you might as well get a cheap email with your domain provider and only host other stuff from home. Less hassle.

        And? isn’t this entire thread about “leaking” IP being not such a big deal for most people? You can always run a VPN on your home server if you want to “hide” it when not at home.
