I'm planning the transition to self-hosted mail. I did fully self-host mail >10 years ago, so I know how to do it in essence, but I'd like to go a bit softer now, and not host outbound myself, it's just too annoying.

What's your take on that? Do you self-host SMTP as well? Why or why not?

If not, what providers do you use for it (especially in Europe, or even Germany)? How reliable are they? What's the maximum attachment size? What do you pay for it?

I just host from my garage using courier http://www.courier-mta.org/

Maybe it's hard to do in other countries but in Australia I've done this since about 2008 and moved around a lot and used different static ips.

Mail isn't hard. Just don't set up a shit server
