Those are definitely “step two” once you have managed to get the relevant services running. Fortunately, spam and basic phishing filtering isn’t too hard at small scale. You can get free access to very high quality blocklists for non-commercial use and you can use rspamd’s fuzzy hash API and various phishing URL data sources for free as well. The really hard thing is to self host outbound email delivery. You almost have to use a relay service to get mail delivered these days. Most IPs at cheap hosting services are in a bad neighborhood and will be treated poorly by association. On the other hand, most transactional email services have a generous free tier that would work for a lot of self-hosted setups. Relaying through MailChannels is free with no volume limits if you do it via Cloudflare Workers. Would be nice to see someone merge that with this project as an option.
