After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel

1

Mail-in-a-box

There's alot that goes into a mail server stack, but it's no more complicated than k8s or other stacks these days. For a pre-packaged mailserver environment, take a look at mailcow or mailinabox https://mailcow.email https://mailinabox.email/ There's a variety of ansible/chef/puppet up on github that can also be used to setup the invididual components.

Modoboa

Modoboa? https://modoboa.org/en/ I was skeptical about running a mailserver but a friend set up a few mailboxes with Modoboa and so far it's going better than expected. (Mostly we just needed a mail relay.).

Another compromise between self hosting and using "big tech" email providers is to use smaller email providers. I have been using https://kolabnow.com/ for a five years or so and am a happy customer. Of course it's more expensive, has less bells and whistles, etc, but I'm glad I don't have to participate in the surveillance capitalism machine of big email providers.
