Hello everyone, nice to meet you all.

This question was probably asked around here but is it really possible to be your own mail provider?

I think I’m experienced enough when it comes to homelabbing that I could take on something like this.

I THINK im aware of the technicalities, I did some research but it still begs the question, is it really worth it? would it be hard to build up a reputation so that your emails don’t land in spam folders?

    Depending what you find acceptable there are things you can do. For example at work we proxy through a mailgun account to do simple smtp notifications from bash scripts and webapps.I would imagine you could also proxy from an email server.

    And you can at least manage your own email domain accounts via various webhosts. This may not meet your criteria for self hosted but its more independent then using gmail.
