I prefer to have it in house for the 10-20 email addresses it serves for
employees and other business email addresses. It is free that way and we don’t
have to worry about anything else. But for some reason the server hangs and
needs to get rebooted, usually about the same time each day.
Google got difficult, especially for email chains and other things so we
stopped using them some time ago. For example, our scanner stopped being able
to send emails due to something gmail did.

How much is your time worth. The free internal server is costing you this. We
are still using rackspace for subscriber mail and our office emails since its
same domain and a pita to set up split routing for the mail. The cost of our
mail is covered by the folks who have dropped service but wanted to keep their
email, we actually make a tidy profit to cover any administrative stuff.
for my business I use google. 6 bucks a month per user. The way I look at it is
if im not making 6 bucks per guy a month I have bigger problems than my email.
Im a nerd, 20 years ago dicking around with email servers would have been a
blast. but now its like maintaining a battery powered inverter just so i can
still use my corded drill. I can, it will work, its not that complicated, but
its nonetheless a dumb waste of time.
dealing with hosting email servers is a total waste of any resources unless
your monetizing it. too large an attack vector

Surgemail you could run 1000 customers on a raspberry pi! Not free though.
Extremely granular configuration options.

Not free. And they went to per user licensing so it’s not cost effective
for hosting anymore, but it’s reasonable for internal email.
