I wouldn’t want to deal with deliverability issues, which are very much a matter of quality of service and industry relationships rather than a matter of having the right software. Just use Mailchimp or Sendgrid or Amazon’s email service, pay the small service fee, send high quality email, and don’t get distracted by trying to figure out why your emails are going to spam.

I played around a bit with both Sendgrid and Amazon SES and found that actually my own exim server on a VPS with a small and reputable provider had quite a bit better deliverability than either of those.
Yep used an Exim setup on a VPS for years for a small traffic site with little issue. I’m running something still on there but a little more modern docker setup with DKIM etc.
