   What's the status of self-hosting email these days?

     @Hyolobrika Last I checked it was simple to set up but its main issue is having mail blocked by Gmail, Outlook, etc.

     @Hyolobrika Doable but difficult:
     
     - Make sure server host / ISP doesn't block ports.
     - Request IP to be removed from blacklists if it is on some due to IP having previously been abused.
     - Request some mail providers specifically whitelist it because they have their own whitelists/blacklists.
     - Make sure to implement SPF, DMARC, and DKIM.
     - Make sure you don't accidentally set it up as an open relay.
     - Make sure PTR records are set correctly for rDNS.
     
     I may have forgotten some steps lol. The FeministWiki has a mail server that seems to be working quite well, but still occasionally runs into issues.
