In theory you could use an smtp relay.
Which pulls the messages from the relay and also sends for you.
This way you won’t have to fiddle around with IP reputation.
But you are still interacting with a cloud service…

muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 6 days agoDon’t u need a static ipv4 or something? I looked into it a while back even got the point of deploying a docker container but the config was so awful I gave up.

It would be more reliable to use a ‘clean’ not blacklisted static IP.
But in theory you could just use ddns and update the IP. But I actually never tried it.
Mailcow comes ready out of the box. Just change the DNS entries according to Mailcow and you are good to go.

I’ve heard that using ddns for mail gets u into all sorts of IP blacklisting issues. I don’t even have a non cgnat iv4 and I’m not sure if email can work with an ipv6 only

Yes thats why i said in theory. I doubt that many residential IPs are blacklisted, but still not optimal.
IPv6 only works but there are probably many Mail Servers that are IPv4 only, so you will not receive mails from them.
If you are serious about it, rent a VPS or get a static IP on your residential connection.
