Why though? We already have OpenSMTP. It can't get any simpler.

> Occasionally I turn up in spam when I email someone I haven't before Just proved my point.
Last week I saw the same behavior sending email from my work's Google Workspace account to my personal Gmail account. The email stays within Google, I'm logged into both accounts on the same computer, does Google think I am I spamming myself...?
Google's expense reimbursement emails were systematically considered to be SPAM by gmail.
Google knew this because they even issued warnings.
Still, using your own domain and machine is different.
Unless you've had an interaction with that email address it will be considered SPAM.

#53I keep on hearing that hosting your own server is a pain. Email costs were always an issue for me. I manage a few e-commerce website. Initially when they were small I used MailChimp. Then moved to AWS SES. Now I moved to my own self hosted postalserver. My mailing lists are not huge ( 100k recipients) and I send daily and I don't have much of a deliverability issue. Depending on the audience my open rates are between…

Actual a "beefy instance" on Hetzner not clear it's dedicated
$50 a month is almost certainly not dedicated.
$50 a month will absolutely rent you a pretty great dedicated server:
https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ex €46.41 ($50.10 USD) rents you a single physical computer with a i5-13500 CPU, 64 GB DDR4, 2 x 512 GB NVMe SSDs.
If you want cheap dedicated servers, you can get even lower prices (though the value may not be as good): SoYouStart (OVH but in North America) has $30 dedicated servers[0], OVH in France has dedicated servers (Intel Atom tier, but still your own whole computer) for $11 a month[1].

In the world of dedicated, you can get so much more vs what you'd pay for the equivalent EC2 instance.

I stand corrected.
Thank you for the information.
