As the title reads, I really want to begin hosting my own email server again. I'm sick of the poor quality of the service providers out there. Damnit all I want/need is a reliable IMAP/SMTP provider. I spent 3 hours getting off of Hostinger and on to Zoho. I just hope Zoho won't suck. It's great for now but we'll see.

Is the prevailing advice still not to bother with self-hosting email?

There’s no shortage of people who will tell you it’s okay to self host email… in fact, you’re probably not hearing all of them, because some will inevitably get routed to spam.

I have my own domain hosted on proton. Followed all the guides and my emails are still nearly always routed to spam...
