It boils down to two main reasons, I think:
1. It's easy to configure yourself as an accidentally open mail relay. Which is a fast lain to having your IP blocked everywhere.
2. You may have no issues with deliverability but it's very common. Especially if you use an IP that hasn't been in your custody for long so you have no idea what it was used for before. Sounds like you got/have a good IP.
- LoveGracePeace 5y agoIn 23 years, I've moved from GoDaddy to Linode to AWS Lightsail. It's not difficult to do this, it's not rocket science, I'm surprised by the amount of FUD being injected into the OP's discussion here on HN overall. It's almost like half who say boogey boogey there be demons in there made mistakes and quit prior to gaining profeciency while the other half probably have some incentive to herd people away from selfhosting and to the SaaS light where everything is right as rain.

- throwaway2016a 5y agoTBH it's probably been 9+ years since the last time I tried. Maybe half the objection is just older folks like me living in the past ;) Glad to hear that's not as easy.
