I have a private @gmail and a business @company.com (also via gmail), which I heavily rely on. Due to a recent data-leak somewhere, I’m now receiving unstoppable spam on my @gmail, and decided to set up a new account on proton and ditch @gmsil in favor of @example.com. I came across SimpleLogin, and thought that I could use that instead of protons custom domain feature for both @company.com and @example.com
Since I also host some stuff myself, I went through the self-hosting process of SimpleLogin, which was a pita dealing with postfix. But now, everything is running fine and I can send/receive @exampke.com emails, which I tested with @gmail and @company.com (gmail).
Even though it was a nice learning experience, I’m starting to wonder whether my setup is future proof and reliable, especially when it comes to spam. I really don’t want my @company.com mails to land in customers spam folders.
So my question is, how reliable is a self hosted email-forwarding solution, and how does it compare with a self-hosted mail service. Like, are these two equal in terms when it comes to precautions etc?
I don’t have long term experience with either, but I started to selfhost both of them (anonaddy and simplelogin) about a month ago
I enjoy both, and both are running well at the moment - but there is no long term experience
I think , I would normally like Addy more (interface, capabilities, etc), however honestly it was the one, which caused me a lot more problems (mails getting lost unnoticed, without any notification, even multiple times - of course, in each case it was some config setting which I wasn’t fully aware of, so kind of "user error).
Simplelogin is running with less issues (as far as I can tell), and it’s also a great piece of software: I can’t even clearly explain why I use it less
Anyways, I’m very much interested in inputs on this topic, definitely look forward to discussion in this thread

I checked out addy too, but SL and their browser extension seem just more feature rich.
