Is there a secure mail server that I can self-host without reading a lot about how email works?
And, if I do really want to understand how email works and how to get the perfect setup for me, what's a good introduction to read?

E-mail is generally very shitty to set-up, quite often because the software is just incredibly shit. It's easy to footgun in subtle ways. Spam filters and spam filtering add an another layer of complexity that requires a reasonable amount of effort, building up reputation, flawless sending. Good luck if you ever end up on a blacklist. I'm not saying it's impossible, some all-in-one product _might_ work and _might_ not be high-maintenance. Things like maddy sound very promising. But I'd be wary, especially when you don't know much about e-mail it's difficult to detect potential issues as well.
