    I have been exploring self hosting my email.

    Docker mail server for backend. Roundcube for web ui

    Still keeping accounts at mainstream providers though as backup, especially for outgoing mail.

      You can just use a custom domain at Tuta, Proton, or any of the other email providers until you decide to self-host. Honestly, I don’t think self-hosting is worth it, I value the spam filtering and uptime that major providers offer.

      Register a domain, Postfix, spamassassin, freebsd jails… Do it like we did in the early 2000s, it never got better

      Don’t.

      Not only is it not worth the hassle most home ISPs block port 25 to avoid compromised computers sending out spam.
