I've read so much conflicting information only whether it's even feasible to run your own mailserver that I had to try it.
Turns out I'm one of the lucky few (or silent majority) that had no problems whatsoever after getting my newly acquired ip off from a few lists. Google recieved my mail first try without even looking into spamlists.
...Maybe it helps that my domain is a relatively expensive one?
- npteljes 5y agoI think the challenge is keeping it up for years. And issues like you thinking that the mail is sent, only to learn later that a spam filter ate it somewhere. Now you have to think: what else is being eaten? For how long? What if you do need to send the email right now because of a deadline or similar? So currently it's not infeasible, just an uphill battle.
- MaKey 5y agoI had no issues with Google's mail servers, however, Microsoft's let a few of my mails just vanish. They were accepted with a 200 OK but didn't even go into the spam folder. Granted, I'm using an .xyz domain, but still, I think this is hostile behavior. Another fun story, I once tried to contact a public authority and my mail was rejected. I then tried to contact the postmaster inbox, same thing. I had to use my gmail account and was initially met with a dismissive reply. Only after asking what the job of the postmaster incorporates if not helping users with delivery issues and whom else to contact I got helped reluctantly.
