What "someone else's service" would you recommend?
Personally I'd probably go with MS hosted exchange or a Google business account. If you don't trust those entities I've heard good things about ProtonMail - I imagine they have some kind of business solution.
Google and MS are the entities you'd definitely want to keep your data away from, no thanks. And Proton doesn't work with normal mail clients, which is kind of a dealbreaker. I remember seeing a comparison chart somewhere with an assortment of other services.
Mango mail, porkbun, proton mail
Each does a slightly different niche.
Mango is cheap, but limits outbound mail. Porkbun has a good all-around mail service, bit is a little more costly. Proton is very secure, but can be inconvenient for export (though it can be done, it requires purchase of a month of business service to export away from them).
There's mailbox.org for example
