I have been thinking of completely going off Google. I have a Nextcloud server for documents and contacts and calendar. Thinking of moving mail away too. Currently I am conflicted between hosting my own email server. On searching only advice I am getting is not to do it.

How many of the homelabers do host their own email server? What software do you use? Any tips.

I used to use postfix, dovecot, spamassassin. I then moved from dovecot to exchange for better web client and sharing capabilities. I got fed up with the constant chasing of patches for Exchange that needed more than just an installer, they needed reg fixes, DNS updates, certificate changes etc. I ended up moving my family to 365 with free licenses to spare me the hassle.
