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?


I selfhost mail and have no problem receiving. The only problem is spam. However I’ve found that just dropping anything that isn’t over TLS and passes SPF is fine. I don’t use a spam filter.
