Last year I got fed up with gmail randomly deleting one of the "duplicate" messages I would get via a mailing list as well as being Cc'd on, so I registered my own domain and set up mail-stack-delivery on a $5/month vps with Amazon lightsail. I guess I'll need to take a closer look at what this package actually does and see if I can help fix any problems with it.
