Short answer: Don’t.
Long answer: It is a massive amount of work, not just to setup, but also to maintain. On top of the fact that the big email providers block smaller email servers like crazy. Even if you had business class Internet service at home, the IP range is most likely already in their block lists. And if you have it on a VPS, the amount of time and effort it takes to get the security and filtering going properly is nightmarish.
It really sucks, but it’s a fait accompli.
Would agree.
Even when done 100% by the book and correct. Companies like Google and Microsoft, in particular, will just randomly send the email to spam.
I gave up after years of fighting the good fight and went to googles free tier. That is now over and I probably just need to move to some other service.
Also dont use a gTLD or if you do, have a backup .com or .us as well. Many forms dont recognize things like .email as legit.
