I had my own mail server running for close to a year after which i gave up because i started seeing issues delivering mail to gmail and apple mail accounts. I had to keep tinkering with the DKIM/DMARC/SPF entries to make sure i'm compliant with gmail/outlook/etc. At somepoint i gave up because it wasn't worth the investment of time.

FWIW, i used mail cow [0], which was a delight to setup and use. And it comes bundled with a decent-ish material design webclient.

I would love to go back to hosting my own mail server though. As of now, i shut it down, and use gsuite.

Still running my mailcow. I don't care if people don't get my mail. I can show them that i handed the over to their server - everything else is their concern. At least legally. If you can't read my mail cause you misconfigured your spam filter I can't help.

This is the type of nonsense I expect from HN. Well done.

I still receive my own email but for sending I use a service or my isp. Unfortunately gmail only supports bigger players unless you get lucky.
