I know there are alternatives like proton mail, tutamail, mailbox.org, etc… But what would be the issue if I create an email using my personal domain, stored in my hosting… maybe encryption? It seems that no-one even consider this option, but I am not sure why…

What would you suggest?

    I hosted my own for a while. We could never send to gmail though and they are saddly too important.

      I’ve read this with concerning frequency, was SPF/DMARC/DKIM all in order? I also have to question if it was a matter of IP reputation, since shared hosting IP ranges are usually pretty thrashed.

      I rent mailbox services (for a custom domain) from a local ISP and don’t have problems with deliverability as such.

        Those were in order (it was 15 years ago so i don’t recall if all existed but at least some did). Probably ip range but who knows

      That worked like a charm for me, but some strange German mall hoster demanded the blood of an unborn unicorn or something like that for it to work.
