Postfix, Dovecot and DNS with cheap Debian/Ubuntu LTS is all I needed to maintain all my email for about 10 years.
I also made a habit of creating an email alias per web service to keep credential leaks under control.
Edit: you messages should pass through any big email service if you implement DKIM, DMARC, etc. and make sure you are not an open relay.

- jcuenod 3y agoAre you saying you didn't have delivery issues? Any spam issues/other gotchas I should know about before deciding to self-host?
- lubosm 3y agoI have no delivery issues - see my updated message above - and I'm providing the service to my small company, my family and running automated services for other companies.
- lubosm 3y agoTo elaborate further, I did have delivery issues with some big providers first, until I implemented all recommended DNS and signing standards. After this was done, there were no issues for all those years.
- jcuenod 3y agoThat's helpful. Thanks!
- cookiengineer 3y agoWhich DNS service do you host your domains at, for reverse dns capabilities? Also, do you maybe wanna share your dovecot+postfix configs? I'm asking because I "should" not allow spam being sent over my servers, but I always get marked as spam in O365 domains, it's very weird. The only thing that I currently cannot provide without having to move my domains somewhere else is the reverse dns entries.
