Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently? - idlestate

I tried maybe 15 years ago and it went about as well as you’d expect for back then. But I’m starting to get the itch again. Have any of you tried relatively recently? How impossible is it to get reliable deliverability to gmail and whatnot these days?

There are a few complete mail servers out there now that simplify everything into one package.

docker-mailserver is a great choice in my opinion.

github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver

GitHub - docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver: Production-ready fullstack but simple mail server (SMTP, IMAP, LDAP, Antispam, Antivirus, etc.) running inside a container.
