I dunno, might create some controversy. What are the toppings?

Indeed, you are not wrong. Such is the state of many, many things.
I admit it’s easy enough to say, “let’s get rid of it”, but without a solution it’s meaningless to say and is just an ideology.

I don’t think the SPF / DKIM / DMARC stuff is overly complex nor the core of the problem.
It’s not the core of the issue, but the average joe that is a hobbyist self-hoster it will be.
IMO, the core issue is that there is no standard whatsoever. People just do whatever the hell they want with these records, pretty much. Microsoft and Google do it differently than each other, even.
The only solution for me is that we move on from email as a society.
- Comment on How often do you run backups on your system? 2 days ago:
I’m always backing up with SyncThing, but every week I do an off-site type of tarball backup that isn’t within the SyncThing setup.

I find it funny that evangelicals outwardly embrace everything the bible says they shouldn’t.
Oh wait, no, I’m just really fucking depressed to the point of insanity.

Yea, if you are not willing to be meticulous about learning/understanding all the DNS stuff (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and plan to host this at home, don’t.
I ran this same system for a very long time on a VPS and had no problems with blacklists, but I’m also a career systems engineer that maintained enterprise systems and exchange servers.
Also note how I am speaking of MIAB in the past tense…
I think the better option is to try and avoid email as much as you can, just like SMS. Outdated tech and not secure. At that point, any ol’ existing email service is good enough.
