Is the the system that Click reviewed. That was basically a Pi with some
outdated software - they slated it!

Many ISPs and companies blacklist mails sent directly from IP addresses
that are listed as for home use. The way round it is to route outgoing
mail through a smarterhost, like your ISP's mail server. You can do this
on a per-domain basis with Postfix. I did it that way for a while but the
list of domains got rather long so I made it the default.

If your main concern is privacy, you may be better off renting a VPS is a
less Orwellian country and running your own mail server on that.
