incoming email is easy. Outgoing email is a whole different ball game. I tried setting up an SMTP server on digital ocean and found it to be impossible due to the fact that all Digital Ocean IP ranges are on various blacklists. I moved the server to AWS and was able to eventually get a running SMTP server, but it requires additional steps to gain the trust of AWS and outlook.com and other providers. It SHOULD be possible to set up an email server if you never never never never never send marketing email. If you DO send marketing email, then your stuff should be sent straight to the garbage bin and you should be on a blacklist. That's the whole point of spam.
