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 heard the wisdom once that you should self host everything except for email. I’m sure there are great tools to make it manageable but the effort/gain is just very high.

    I find it irretating that you speak on the matter with hearsay without having even tried it with modern tools or project.

    With projects like Mailcow its a simple setup. Rspamd handles spam better than many professional industry spam filters i have encountered.

    Yes there are some pitfalls someone should be aware of and some know how required, but as of right know, it very easy with very little maintenance.
