Like the title says, I'm new to self hosting world. 😀 while I was researching, I found out that many people dissuaded me to self host email server. Just too complicated and hard to manage. What other services that you think we should just go use the currently available providers in the market and why? 🙂thank you

Don't host your own email server.

Just trust me.

I did it anyway some time ago and I'm really happy with it. I'm using my own email addresses for absolutely anything by now.
