"Don't send e-mails from your server" is the complete opposite of what you should be doing.
The advice basically means "surrender to big players, even though there is no technical reason to do so. Just surrender."
I would argue that you should do the complete opposite:
- DO send e-mails from your own e-mail server
- DO complain to Google/Outlook if they unjustly mark your e-mail as spam
Accepting this behavior from google/outlook is accepting a "guilty-by-default" prejudice and a limitation of your own freedom of speech.
Basically they're abusing their dominant position to make sure you cannot speak to anybody unless you pass through another big player (ideally from them).
I didn’t try to host my own email. I just tried using zoho. But I still managed to get all my email blocked by gmail. Would love a non gmail email for personal domains.
