Email self-hosting (lemmy.goblackcat.com)

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?

What are you doing to get spam? Somehow simple RBL check + pipelining block most of it for me.

Yeah + spamassassin, I have probably two or three spam mails a YEAR that end up in my inbox.
