It's my understanding that the biggest hurdle in owning your own email stack is that a lot of 3rd parties decide what they'll receive, and hold senders to very strict standards. Have you experienced many issues with recipients on various platforms not receiving your emails?
- pmlnr 11y agoReceiving was never an issue; landing in spam, is sent from some exotic software, that happened. But I may have chosen the words; the main reasons it that I don't want anyone to let decide or mistakenly delete/close/block me out of my own account.
- xorcist 11y agoI have worked in this area for a long time, and it's very rare that this causes any problems unless you are a spammer (or "news-letter sender"). You won't end up on black lists unless there is a mistake. It's an annoyance when that happens, but that happens for the major players as well. I often feel the ambivalence to your own mail servers is unfounded. A basic apt-get for Postfix and Dovecot will give you secure defaults. The only thing you need to do then is to set up the certificates, the dns records, and keep up with what happens in the future. It's absolutely comparable to running your own web server, where you also need to change a cert or two over time.
