Oh, that's only for "fun". Playing with quick deployment of throwaway apps. No real privacy expectation. Of course it would be nice to learn along the way

Sounds like MIB is overkill and way more than you need. I'd still suggest setting up a dedicated self-hosted postfix for your services yourself. Start with local-only delivery. Then you can set it up to forward using external services (or indeed MIB or something similar if you end up self-hosting email on top of that) should you want to and you consolidate future changes of automated external mail delivery to a single point.

I ended up with mailu.
What got me interested is their integration with traefik. It just worked. Not without 9 hours of finding out the right proxy settings, but know I'm attached to it like to IKEA furniture.
On a more serious note, they showed an example of properly proxying a imap/smtp SSL connection. If you asked me before integrating it, I'd have thought it might be impossible, since SMTP has some STARTTLS negotation baked into protocol.
I only knew how to proxy SSL in HTTP and never knew that bare TCP can be used to PROXY and terminate tls as well.
