Until Gmail/Hotmail decides your IP is a spammer and forever you have deliverability issues from then on
Interesting, is this a wild spread problem? I have heard of people that host email services for years and have no problems.
It’s a worry I see posted a ton, and have been advised numerous times that email is the one thing you don’t wanna selfhost.
I self-host (postfix and dovecot) and will admit of all the self-hosted stuff I have it's the most annoying/time-consuming to manage but doable if you're willing to spend a lot of time reading and updating things. I wouldn't recommend it to the vast majority of people though.
