What a silly remark, with that attitude you'd never start anything 'new'. Of course you do not need to 'replicate 23 years of experience ... in a few days' to run a mail server. There is plenty of information on the

No geoblocking here from Sweden, possibly related to me blocking all third-party content by default. I had to enable a single domain to see the images, the site was unstyled but with text and images I get everything I want and nothing more.
