We've been self-hosting. The first few weeks cost some extra time as you add items to the spam filters, but it works pretty well. Our system kills off about 1500 spam emails a day, probably 2-3 get through but most of those are obvious ("Your funding is approved for up to $700,000!!!" or "Did you get my previous email?")
edit: I should add that we're US based, so disallowing all domains besides .com, .edu, .org is easy and useful.

A bunch of sites nowadays use TLDs outside of those. io and tv are notable TLDs for countries but used by entities all over the world. Then there’s the new TLDs like app, etc which are increasingly being used. Have you accounted for these? I feel like their usage is only going to go up since there’s more names available.
- jpmattia 4y agoMy edit above is a lie, after checking the config. (Re-editing that comment has timed out.) I'm in the TV business, and yes there is a decent amount of valid traffic from .tv After checking, there wasn't a whitelist, but it was a longish blacklist: .icu, .xyz, .pro, .date, .science, .top, .today, .download, .work, .click, .cloud, .link, .diet, .review, .party, .zip, .stream, .bid, .me, .website, .buzz, .cyou, .monster, .casa, .bar, .shop, .sbs, .quest, .cfd, .live, .cam, .rest, .life, .art, .site, .digital, .beauty, .online, .club, .email, .best, .ru.com, .sa.com, .za.com, .in.co, .co.in, .rch002.net I'm sure there are others that will be blacklisted in the future too.
