Your post is super insightful.

Option 2 in particular is super appealing.

I’ve tried a bunch of pricacy-focused email services and have been let down by one or more aspects of their service. Pretty much all of them managed to handle sending Ronny satisfaction, though.

So setting up inbound to run on my own gear and paying a couple bucks a month for others to deal with dkim and and domain keys and all that other crap… that’s brilliant.

Thanks for the idea!
