Do any of us host their own email? (lemmy.world)

I have been thinking of completely going off Google. I have a Nextcloud server for documents and contacts and calendar. Thinking of moving mail away too. Currently I am conflicted between hosting my own email server. On searching only advice I am getting is not to do it.

How many of the homelabers do host their own email server? What software do you use? Any tips.

The thing that got me to pay someone else to host my mail is having outbound blocked by google/Microsoft all the time for no reason.

There are reasons, and you can fix them if you know what you're doing. That's what DMARC reports are for.
