Hey self-hosting people!

A couple of years ago I asked about people's experiences with self-hosting email:

The consensus at the time seemed to be that self-hosting email wasn't worth the trouble, and that it was a pain compared to other forms of self-hosting.

Has anything changed? Is email still much more difficult to self-host than other online services?

The actual operation of a server is nbd.

Ensuring that everyone you want to reach from that server can be reached from that server can occassionally become impossible for reasons entirely out of your control.
