I ran my email server (several domains, a dozen or so accounts) for over a decade. This year I caved in and switched to hosted (gmail and fastmail).
For most of the time it's been smooth running, but I did have to do maintenance on the server every year or so, just in time to forget the intricacies and having to relearn them again.
Yeah, a few hours a year on that is not much. But there are many such small "auxiliary" things/chores and it adds.
There's so much things I would and could want do myself, and nowhere near enough time to do them. I have to pick my battles.
And figuring out how to fix sender rewrite to enable mail forwarding with SPF without accidentally allowing spam is not very high on my list of important things in life.
