Is it recommended to set up an own mail server? (alien.top)

Is it useful to have your own mail server as a non-business? Just a private person. Configure SMTP and IMAP for it, sync with outlook I think.

Yay or nay, waste of time? What are your thoughts?

Everything looks good, and wonderful but there's always a surprise waiting for your.

Honestly it's fun and all but I wouldn't recommend for anything work related. If I were to run a mail server at home I'd make sure I get a mail gateway you can proxy your mail through that manages blacklists and reputation.
