You can self host email in an afternoon, its not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

It's not about configuration but rather your IP reputation and the struggle to not have your mail go straight to addressee's spam folder.

Thats just a matter of buying a decent IP and setting up DMARC and DKIM.

I see this reasoning as the #1 reason not to self host, but it really isn't a big issue once you do the initial setup.

Please expand on this. Public cloud IPs would be on spam lists, and providers like Hetzner and OVH aren’t any better. Where does one go to buy a decent IP?
