Interesting. Care to elaborate on what makes self-hosting email such a time-consuming task? Most of the replies you're getting seem to suggest it's not that hard to pull off.

IP address reputation.

IP address reputation.

Care to elaborate? We already had other comments stating it's not a problem. I would love to hear some first-hand accounts substantiating these claims.

Basically if someone clicks that your email is spam, your IP address gets put on a list. You have to pay or fight to get off those lists.

What makes that a full-time job?

You need to beg Microsoft to whitelist your IP once in a while
