It's not anymore [0]. However, good look on getting Microsoft's or other's mail servers to accept your e-mail. That's a big reason why even tech savvy users give up on hosting their own mail server. I've been running my own mail server for over two years now and the situation hasn't improved. My last problem was that a mail server from a government agency straight up refused the SMTP connection and contacting their postmaster mailbox yielded no response.
(For anyone wondering: It's not a problem with the configuration of my mail server, I've checked it about 10 times now. It passes all MxToolbox checks. However, I'm using an .xyz domain which might contribute to my problem.)

If it's more complicated than apt/yum install mailcow, followed by a nice friendly browser based configuration page, it's too complicated for widespread usage. This includes, having out of the box configuration, that makes the email acceptable by Microsoft/Gmail etc. [0] https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/i_u_m_install/ https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/i_u_m_inst...

It's a bit more complicated than that but the simplest solution I know. > This includes, having out of the box configuration, that makes the email acceptable by Microsoft/Gmail etc. This is unfortunately impossible. You can have a perfectly valid configuration including reverse DNS, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, yet Microsoft's email servers will still let your mails vanish.
