This:
> But my emails are just not delivered anymore
is just plain misleading. I hear this a lot about self-hosted email. But I have been self hosting my email for about ten years and as far as I know my email is always delivered. I've only had a problem one time and that was readily fixed.
I have MX and PTR records as well as SPF and DKIM records. I believe these are what make email deliverable reliably. It's a bit of a pain to sort out but once it's done it's done.
I don't agree with the premise either that emails are not delivered. They are. Always. I also have MX, PTR and TXT records setup for DMARC, DKIM and SPF. My mail server is never caught up in any blacklist(s). So without even reading the aforementioned article, it;s hard to feel sorry for the guy. Self Hosting Email works.

@abucci @movq well, RIP for him. Putting that aside, i'ven't been having issues with my self-hosted email either, I'd like to straight up block Outlook though ;P

But what if you have friends or family that have @outlook.com addresses?! 😂

@prologic fortunately that's not the case for me, hell, they don't even know about my dark side (to be concrete, this one) so....
Well, I wouldn’t say it’s black and white. There are delivery issues sometimes, it’s just part of the game – so it doesn’t *always* work. On the other hand, it’s not *completely* broken, either, is it?
What saddens me is people giving up. Everyone who claims “e-mail is broken” or “self-hosting is broken” makes life harder for the rest of us. 😐 Newcomers will read those blog posts and they’ll decide to not even try …
There was a follow-up blog post by someone else who brought up another important argument: “it’s never been easier to self-host your email” because the software has gotten so much better. Anyone remember setting up sendmail? 🤣 I haven’t even tried the alternatives mentioned in that post, because I use OpenBSD’s smtpd these days and I love it. 👌
