 @053f521c Self-hosting is not really an option. This is for a business thing I'm setting up for a relative. I'm worried about big email providers suddenly sending these emails to spam. 
 @8a5294f4 I get that, though couldn't you just tie it into an email provider so they can handle the maintence? 
 @053f521c Sorry, what do you mean by that? 
 @8a5294f4 Well I've not done exactly what you have so I maybe wrong here. Using say Mailchimp or even self-hosted solutions you end up using your own email address and verify it to your domain. So unless you self-host email, your email provider is responsible for looking after delivery problems, domain blocklists, spam, etc. 
 @053f521c That is what I'm trying to do, my own domain set up to send emails through some provider. But the services I tried kept blocking my accounts for no discernible reason 
 @8a5294f4 Do you have a proper DNS entries for  DKIM and SPF along with using DMARC? 
 @053f521c No, the domain is not set up for anything yet, I was trying to make an account with a service so I can set it up. (Well, it is set up for Brevo now, I was able to sign up with them, so problem solved for now) 
 @8a5294f4 Well at least you have a solution. Good luck. 
 @053f521c I appreciate the help, thank you! 
 @8a5294f4 You're welcome.
