Comment on Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently?

Selfhost several domains for over 25 years, from home, on a dynamic IP and no PTR records, and I have literally had zero problems with blacklisting or dropped connections. I must live a charmed life, or have set up my DKIM/SPF/dmarc records correctly.

mailcow-dockerized is great, really makes email setup so much easier.
Do you ever send mails to Gmail and Office365? Do you get through the spam filter without PTR record?

All the time, never had an issue. I get dmarc reports constantly since I set my dmarc to notify, not just failed, but I’ve never seen PTR checked on Microsoft or google. It passes SPF and DKIM (presumably spam but you don’t get a report for that) and they let it through. I used to think it was because I’ve had most of my domains for a long time, but the couple times I’ve brought a new domain online, they seem to be fine with them.
Now they might be passed because my old domains have never had an issue and they get associated because they come from the same IP?
My ISP would let me set a PTR if I wanted but I haven’t bothered because it doesn’t seem to be an issue.
