Good luck. I’ve heard that it’s almost impossible to host your own email now because companies like Google will blacklist it and send all your emails to your recipient’s trash instead of their inbox.
Residential IPs are generally gray listed. Same with any cloud provider IP pools. You can get a mail relay for sending email if you want an easy way. Or find a local colo who has their own IP block where you can host a small server. It might take a little time to warm up and build that reputation, but not impossible.
I’m very happy with proton’s service and products (email/calender/drive) so even with the asshole CEO it still feels like good choice. Maybe not as good as some other options out there, most likely would have chosen Tuta if I would switch now.
Which email provider to use?
Tuta.com
European, not Swiss, privacy-focused.
Was just going to say “host your own on AWS” and then remembered who owns aws.
Might have to literally host my own now.

Posteo.net is a buck a month
i’ve switched over to proton for now. that’s not advice, though. look them up before you decide to try them.
