Supporting your counterpoint, I have been also running my own E-mail server for the last 20 years. There were occasional issues, mostly a few years ago, with the big providers dropping silently messages or delaying them by a day or so, but eventually it has always worked well. This year has been a hassle with the new rules forced by Google, but during most years the time spent with managing the E-mail server has been completely negligible.
