Yes.
Self-hosted email is basically a thing of the past, because you can't do anything about IP-based blacklists, and they are in widespread use.
This also rather implies that all these mechanisms which are available to hosters, DMARC and SPF and what-not, are not actually adequate.
I used to self-host, and I still host my own POP, but I now pay 5 USD a month for a commercial SMTP account, just to use their SMTP server to send email, so that I can send from their IP rather than mine.
- redleader55 2y agoDoes this mean you self-host your MX, but use a different host for relaying your email to the outside?
- casenmgreen 2y agoYes.
