Doing this with mailcow on an hetzner vps for 3 years now (semi-personal). Works flawless.
Accepted by Gmail and Microsoft365 - and I can pull up the logs and see if a mail was delivered to a mailbox.

This approach would also be unacceptable to the author of the article, as it is not possible to use Hetzner without them storing your personal details. From Hetzner’s privacy policy:
> When you register an account with us, we collect and process certain personal data from you as your registration data. For example, we need your name, address information, telephone number, payment information and your email address to process your order.
— https://www.hetzner.com/rechtliches/datenschutz
From the article:
> Name, phone number, address. You're off to a fast start towards privacy hell, FastMail.
The author also appears to want an email service that doesn’t store your email or have a spam filter, because they are offended by these parts of FastMail’s privacy policy:
> We process mail sent and received from your account to block spam and fraud.
> We also collect the email content you create, upload, or receive from others
It seems to me that what the author wants does not resemble email, which is why they are so unhappy with so many email providers. Perhaps they would be happier with some form of E2E-encrypted instant messaging. In any case, getting angry at email providers for storing your email seems like a waste of time and energy.
