I completly agree with you. While Hetzner is my actual neighbor as their headquarters is right in the neighboring town, I still use a server at very small scale provider. I have no problem with my email server. I receive some spam here and there, mostly from Russia. But I immediatly block the according IP addresses for some time.

For years I avoided to use any external service to decide whether its Spam or not. But about 2 years ago I started to rely on some of the external Blocklists.

Till today I have no problem sending Email. Even as I don't use DKIM or DMARC.

If you are using external blocklists, you are perpetuating the problem here. Small mail operators end up on blocklists through no fault of their own, and it sounds like your server would reject them just like the big servers do.

I wouldn’t expect sending email to be the problem. But I’d be surprised if it’s delivered.
