If you self-host email what is your current stack?

Works like a charm!

I'm also considering self-hosting email, but pretty much everything I've read suggests that keeping your emails out of spam folders is a huge pain. Still exploring different options.
However, my server went down many, many times for hours without me noticing, sometimes for days.
Despite today's outage, it's still more than worth having a third-party company like Google or Microsoft handle your email. At least they have monitoring 24/7 and people on call to fix issues when things stop working.
Mine runs on an Intel NUC at home, with the a sensible ISP who naturally can provide a fixed IP address (everything open), IPv6, and clean address.
Been very happy with it, both the software, and the independence :) A little IT and network knowledge is useful if you're doing more than the standard (VPS) install, but that's to be expected.
And to be clear, if you are running a business you can be blocked by your customers’ infrastructure even if you are fine with the big boys.
And that can happen if you are not self hosting but not using one of the big providers.
Some emails end up in spam some don't, quite frankly I just need it for system alerts for my self hosted services
