I have not had problems with this (although I am going through my ISP's SMTP server to send, using my own SMTP server to receive; if you are installing Exim by the Debian package manager, select "smarthost" from the menu to enable this function) (Also, I use multiple email addresses on my computer, although all of them are my own; I do not host any email for anyone else, although you can just as well use the same software to host email for other people too.)

Never thought of using a third-party relay SMTP server. That's a great idea. Gmail has a relay [0][1], but I'm not sure if it's still free now that the G Suite free tier is gone. Amazon SES [2] has competitive pricing, or it's free (first 62,000 emails per month) if you're using EC2 for sending email. Then there's a bunch of marketing oriented SMTP providers that have free tiers. E.g. mailjet [3].

  I meant the ISP's server; it should come with your internet service (at no extra charge) if they provide a SMTP server.

    Most people's ISP these days is AWS/GCP/Azure, so that's not an option for most anymore.

    Yeah, but I don't have a long-term ISP. Anyway, I don't see any disadvantage in using a non-ISP SMTP relay.
