20-40k per month isn't much. SPF and reverse DNS are trivial to set up,
and you don't need DKIM. (That's not too hard either, but DKIM/DMARC
often just cause your messages to get rejected again.)

If the Trac web server has a static IP, all you would need to do is
install an MTA on it and tell Trac to use the local sendmail command
instead of connecting to SendGrid over SMTP to send these messages. That
shouldn't cost anything extra if Trac is on a dedicated server, but I've
no idea how that is set up. If it can send mail, and if we can change
the PTR record for the IP, that's all we'd need.

The goal here is just to do better than servers that are on six
blacklists... it doesn't take a dedicated team of full-time experts to
do that.
