    Chiming in to say that hosting your own email server is a nightmare, please just find a service and pay them.

      I heard that. Its why I asked. Self hosting is no problem for me, more like finding good alternatives in this case. Have you tried it?

        I think you tend to get flagged as spam from Gmail and the like very easily, making useless

          True. It’s basically impossible to fully self host nowadays. You can host for your local users and use a/your provider to route and possibly act as your MX if you really want to go that way. In that case most hosting providers that let you edit the DNS files will do.

        I have. My main problem wasn’t so much that I was getting flagged as spam, but that the spam filtering on the receiving side was just awful. I also don’t send many emails so it may well be the case that I just happened to not experience that problem.
