Does anyone here run their > own mail server and find it works well? I've got a lot of clients using G Suite - which usually provides more than just email - and it's absolutely bullet proof. It's also GDPR-ready which is a major plus as 25th May 2018 isn't far off. I'm not unconditionally recommending them because one size doesn't fit all and there are some strange gotchas when mixing and matching with third party hosting and services but definitely worth a look. How many users are you servicing for that domain's email - if it's just you, G Suite is probably a bit heavy duty. Once you climb towards 50 or so users the pricing can start to add up as well. Your own email server is *still* the only way to go... if you have an almost unlimited threshold for frustration. I gave up running my last dedicated sendmail box a couple of years ago and don't miss it at all.
