Someone recently told me that it's a constant losing war of attrition to try to host your own mail server because you'll never have reliable delivery.
I'm not paying for anything and I want to use my domain for my email and it feels dumb to have that be the thing I have to pay for.
Was going to just spin up Docker Mailserver
I'd be using it for professional communications, admin for other hosted services, and sending newsletters.
Curious to hear first-hand experiences!
