Yep SMTP relay is the only sane choice nowadays sadly. Sending your own mail is a losing battle against the email blacklist cartel.

No...it isn't the only sane choice. If it works for you, great. Forunately for Internet freedom, there many of us small timers left who have no issues hosting our own email.

I have no issue hosting, it's just tiresome keeping clear of Spamhaus etc.

Using an SMTP relay was a suitable trade-off, for me, but I respect those who are able to endure the pains of sending non-flagged emails without it.
