Ask HN: Self Hosted vs. Gmail / Outlook?

I've heard this before, but I have my own vanity domain, a well run mail server (postfix), and I I've never had a problem. I do support DKIM, SPF, DNSSEC, and of course I don't send spam.

I have heard that newly registered domains do have a period before they are trusted.

I can confirm that. It took me a while to get a sane mailserver setup, but eventually I don't have any troubles with Gmail/MS/Yahoo anymore.

I used to run my own mail server for ~7 years and never had issues. I used DKIM, SPF, etc and still do although they're problematic with mailing lists...

Postfix before, openSMTPd the last few years.
