I mentioned this to Ian offline, but I'll mention it here, too. I
would be happy to try relaying for small hobbyist senders; feel free
to reach out if you're interested. (And if you asked before, but I
demurred because I wasn't ready, now I think I'm ready.) I've got my
own SMTP server handling

I'm surprised and disappointed that Digital Ocean won't do anything to
vouch for "yes, this customer is using this IP, and has been for $TIME".
