Self hosted email server for small business? (alien.top)

I want to set up an outgoing transactional email server for my small business. Do I need to purchase IP blocks? Given most IPs from VPS will have bad reputation.

Please respond only if you have ran an SMTP server. Not looking for heresay.

Previously hosted email on a VPS. Had very few issues. Once in awhile Microsoft would throw a fit but they have a process to get whitelisted.

Currently running my own email services now (for my small business and some relatives) from a dedicated IP on a residential fiber line. Zero issues.

Running an email server is doable. Could there be some work depending on the IP address you get? Yes. If you don't send out spam, then you should be good. Good luck!
