You only need a $2-5/m cheap VPS for your server and have anything as MTA/smarthost for you. Eg: Fastmail, $5/m, just receive with a catch-all address, send through a SMTP with auth (with an app pass). No bother with SPF, DKIM, PTR, SPAM and all this bullshit. Also you have a breaking glass access to your mail in case your server burst in flames. Don't want Fastmail? Any other provider would do. Want to tinker it yourself? Just buy anything anywhere, configure it as a smarthost. Anecdata: I have a small business of ~15 people use Fastmail in the said configuration. The only difference is what they are on Exchange Server locally. The old one, on premises. They use it for almost 8 years without problems. |
