I’m considering self hosted. I’m so tired of the major providers not even trying. And I have no serious control over blocklists.

My personal domain has the MX records pointing at Gmail. It gets far less spam than my Gmail address does.

What about fastmail.com or hey.com or proton.me? I have heard good things about all of them.

I use fastmail, I love it. I have a catchall and thus can use a different address per service. Leads to sometimes awkward conversations as to why the email address contains the company name in it, but can also be a life saver. For instance, free recently got hacked and all their email db was online. I can just block this email address and not receive the spam.
Fastmail itself is reliable and fast on the web, but I only use it through IMAP anyways. It works perfectly.
