Comment on On email privacy: can I store my own email and relay them through an email provider?

Indeed, I have thought about hosting my own email, but the problem of dealing with IP blacklists made it seem not worth it.
Thank you so much for the explanation on DKIM and SPF. It makes sense to me now, indeed I didn’t really have a clue about either of these before I read your comment. Thank you for breaking it down.

I use sendgrid as my outgoing smtp relay to avoid ip reputation issues you mention. You still have to configure your dns settings for spf and dkim pointing at their servers instead of yours. Their free tier is 10x the email I’ll ever send so it doesn’t cost anything. There are a few companies in this space with free tiers. It works, but it isnt Gmail level deliverability. I still get spam binned occasionally.

I see a lot of spam coming from sendgrid, so I wonder how long they can continue operating that way until they get blocked completely by one of the larger mailbox providers.

The previous commenter mentioned mxroute and I got sendgrid from your comment. I will look at these products, is there any other provider that you recommend?
