I host at a couple of levels:
* Mail in a Box for a bunch of low-volume domains, hosted on a major cloud provider VM. Total SMTP volume ~2k outbound emails a month. This was previously hosted on my own server in a datacenter.
* Plesk/Postfix for a higher volume domain tied to a nonprofit, SMTP relayed out through Amazon AWS. Total SMTP volume ~100k emails a month. Likely moving this to a standalone Mail in a Box installation as well.
Neither has given me any deliverability issues, but I did take the time to register with Google Postmaster, Microsoft's similar service, etc. The only problem I ever encountered was a spammer getting hold of a transactional account last year for about a week -- Google put a hard bounce on not just the server IP but also all domains tied to it. Took about 2-3 weeks before they decided to trust it again.

- gray_-_wolf 4y agoAh, thank you.
- anonymousiam 4y agoI've hosted my own email for over 30 years. I've watched it slowly change from a (somewhat) trusted environment into a war zone. Administration time went from nearly nothing to several hours per day up until about five years ago. For the past five years I've been using mail-in-a-box. (http://mailinabox.email http://mailinabox.email) It is generally problem-free, but problems can arise if you host it on a sub-par provider (or provider network). I highly recommend it!
