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?

    Do you own IPv4 address space as individual? I do not think it will happen in his era. Just pick ISP which provides internet services to businesses only (probably as colo), so you IP will not get listed as “residential” and start building up reputation. Secondary MX on cheap VPS is fine.
