Those World Companies and their intention :(
Yes, I am self-hosting my own e-mail server and will never come back to other people's or company's servers.

How often do your emails get dropped/rejected when running a self-hosted email server these days? Always thought, in large part thanks to Google, it gets difficult to spin up self-hosted email without getting flagged by spam detectors or other reputation-based systems.
Edit: just saw you replied below to somewhat answer this. Hmm. Still looks like trouble but less than I expected.

Wow - you are?
Is it compatible with the other major servers?
I can't remember who I was listening to, but I thought I heard that it's basically not worth the hassle at this point.

Well I only had small problems like ipv6 compatibility with gmail, but it was easy to fix. Another one was forcing TLS 1.3 only. But in general it works very well, almost every IT expert tells me I am crazy and that I will have many problems, still it works very well. I only had to exclude my IP from blacklist like spamhaus when I set the mail server years ago, key thing is to have a fixed IP address obviously. All those "experts" saying it does not work and bla bla bla looks like they never did it in practice and just keep repeating what some incompetents say.

It's all Greek to me, but super fascinating!
Even the idea struck me as very cool, not having been around during the early days of the internet when - I think - this sort of thing would have been more common.
Kudos for sticking with it and proving the bastards wrong.

Thanks, but it's not that hard. If you want to try best option is to choose a good ISP that let you use port 25 and have PTR registry for your inverse-dns and a fixed IP as a good or free price. Then use one of those two server distros as they have everything ready built-in:

BTW for learning greek duolingo is very good.
Have fun!

I forgot to mention I also run my company's mail server, which is a server that can't fail at all. And I am running it on a rpi4, it's so lightweight that it could be done on a rpi3.
