> Is this still possible? Are your emails getting delivered?

Mine are. Although it probably helps to have a static IP with a 25 year long clean history.

Are there very occasional glitches? Sure. But I've seen ISPs drop everything from GMail on the floor for no obvious reason. I've seen GMail drop GMail email before. Same for every other large email provider.

To date I haven't seen any reason strong enough to push me to switch to a centralised email host. That day may yet come of course.
