Like the title says, I'm new to self hosting world. 😀 while I was researching, I found out that many people dissuaded me to self host email server. Just too complicated and hard to manage. What other services that you think we should just go use the currently available providers in the market and why? 🙂thank you

Any number of issues, depending on the network architecture and other variables. Is there storage mounted to the container? Or network access to/from the container for admin access, etc? Anything else on the dmz rail in the blast radius of the infected server?
