The whole situation is really frustrating because all I really want is a competent email provider that isn't going to get squashed by microsoft and other deliverability issues, but my alternatives are microsoft ( who I genuinely believe is just as bad as google in this circumstance ) or fastmail who i've never really got the vibe of confidence from. Self hosting email seems really unattractive here as well, because while doing that for my personal email is totally fine, doing it it away that is reliable enough of my business is a real pain in the ass...

@benjojo Self-hosting my e-mail for a quarter of a century(!) trying every combination of software and platform you can think of. Zimbra for a while was probably the best UI experience but needed a chunky VM. Multiple disappointments with Squirrelmail and Round cube etc too. And despite all that I still ended up part-using Gmail due to Android's integrated calendar+contact sync which landed me in split-brain e-mail hell for a long time... 1/
