Just make sure you add DKIM and all that. Mail in a box will do it mostly for you but it should take care of the spam issues at least until someone reports your emails as spam. For a personal email that shouldn’t happen.

Bronco1676@lemmy.ml 4 months agoThe only problem with self-hosting is that big coorps like google or microsoft will put you on their spam list, so your e-mails will land in the spam folder when you send emails to gmail or outlook addresses. Other than that it’s not a huge hassle as stuff like mailcow.email or mailu or mail-in-a-box exist.

Without dkim dmarc spf and all that stuff it won’t even reach the spam folder, but get either silently dropped or rejected where mailer daemon will send you a nice message.

Ah, wow. Yeah. That’s a big problem, or would be for me anyway. No time or energy to deal with that issue.
