Ask HN: The middle ground for email self-hosting?
A major theme in self-hosted email discussions is deliverability issues (particularly to larger email service providers), and I tend to be unsure how bad it actually is: sometimes it does seem pretty bad, other times it sounds like it&#x27;s fine, and possibly the chatter about failed deliveries is caused by misconfigured servers and&#x2F;or misunderstandings.<p>Seems like it shouldn&#x27;t be hard to check and collect reference statistics with a survey, though I&#x27;m failing to find surveys of that kind, and getting accounts on public services would be the tricky part for me personally (since I don&#x27;t like to provide my phone number), so not doing that myself either. Only occasionally tried to check it with others, and messages were delivered fine in those cases -- but that&#x27;s just a few samples.
