I don't really see a value or point in this article, unless it is sponsored by ProtonMail. Life is hard so let's surrender and use WhateverMail service? That's a very pathetic way, that's how corporations thrive and screw us later. You shouldn't stop doing something just because someone did it for 20 years and failed. Some people learn - others are just getting older. That's defeatist mentality. I've personally selfhosted mail for 20+ years as well and see no reason why I would stop it. And yea, I use postfix + dovecot. 50+ domains. 2M messages a day on some domains. Everything works and costs $0. You can calculate yourself how much services like Postmark will charge you for similar volume. It's not a brag but attempt to show something is absolutely doable as contrary to someone who "did it for 20 years and gave up".
