I self host my own email using mailinabox. Its working like a charm for my personal use case. If anyone is interested in setting this up by themselves, here is the opentofu (formally terraform) code I am using: https://github.com/JonasTaulien/opentofu-mailinabox

The odds that this works is basically zero. Your post didn't refer to deliverability at all and the repo's README didn't address deliverability either. I can basically guarantee a portion of your email is not being delivered, you just aren't measuring it.

Its true, that I did not refer to deliverability. But I can do this now :) Mailinabox has a dahboard that shows you if you are on any spam list. It will also just stop with the setup, if it detects, that the IP of your machine is blacklisted.

The cases where my email got blocked, I always received an email back from the box, so I think there are no cases where my email just disappeared into the dark. Reasons for blocking where: - Some strange spamlist blocked my IP. I was able to resolve this by filling out a i-am-not-a-spammer-form on the spamlist provider - Some email server required from me that I add my personal address to my website, so that they know who maintains the server

Never have I send an email but it was not delivered without notice

It's times like this that I wish HN had better moderation, you are insultingly rude to the parent and to one of my comments.
