I don't agree with this take, talking as someone who has maintained their own email server in one form or another for many years. I think the separation of components in the traditional email stack is absolute bonkers and an artefact of various historical happenings, and not a technical necessity. That's why I love projects like Maddy or Mox who ship the whole stack in a single binary. Yes, you need to learn about DKIM, SPF and other high level email protocol concepts, but you shouldn't have to know how components interact between each other. So my recommendation to people is to go with projects like Maddy and Mox, and hopefully more people will host their own emails because of the lower entry barrier, so we can get some empathy from huge providers like Google and Microsoft.
