Or self-host. Linode VPS: $5/mo and for that I can host E-mail, a light duty web server, and other various odds and ends. I don't have to worry about some random algorithmic account suspension removing access to my E-mail (and all of my online accounts, since they use my E-mail address for verification). And I don't have to worry about some random algorithmic process determining what E-mails I receive and which ones get silently dropped into a black hole. So far no problems with misconfiguration or other providers dropping my mail--while it probably happens, I think the risk of that is overblown if you configure SPF, DKIM, and so on correctly.

We're there any good resources you used for learning how to configure SPF and DKIM?

Linode's documentation tends to be pretty good: https://www.linode.com/docs/email/postfix/configure-spf-and-...
That guide assumes you're using postfix as your MTA. For exim, their documentation can be found here: https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch...
Distributions often have their own documentation, for Debian: https://debian-administration.org/article/718/DKIM-signing_o... and https://debian-administration.org/article/719/Avoiding_mail-...
Keep in mind this is all to increase deliverability of your outgoing mail. You may also optionally want to check SPF and DKIM on incoming mail to cut down on spam: https://debian-administration.org/article/721/Validating_SPF...
