Email is slowly becoming centralised unfortunately as small providers are pushed out by big companies. So it won't be long until we have global email outages.
Pushed out = blocks as spam in some cases, for self hosted people anyway
Ham radio operators practice disaster ops, don't they ? How about indie email providers ?
We practice giving up on the whole ordeal as we have to send another damn email to Microsoft asking for them to investigate their standards-non-compliant black box email filtering systems which even they don't understand.
Stubborn self hoster reporting for duty

I tried to go the self-hosted route. It became impossible to manage. I don't know how many hours I sunk in to figuring out why, seemingly randomly, my emails were being marked as spam by Google. If you can't get through to Google, you're effectively invisible for most people
I had the same problem as well. Important emails wouldn't get delivered to recipients. I ultimately had to throw in the towel.
