Basically, the title. I have the domain, and have used it in the past with Google Workspace and MS365, but both of those services enshitified, so I’m looking for something that won’t screw me.
Don’t really care about things like password manager, VPN, cloud drive, etc. Just looking for email service for about 5 users that can be configured to work w/ native email clients on macos, windows, linux, iOS (so Proton & Tuta are out). Anyone have any experience with this? Really don’t want to roll my own.
I migrated over to Proton last night before realizing that I had to set up the bridge for it to work on macos mail, and can only use the nativ client on mobile. So, trying to find something soon, so I can cancel within the 30-day period.

Has worked well for me, but keeping in mind that email is probably about the hardest thing to properly self host.
DMARC/DKIM/SPF/MX records have to be set up properly, DNS for auto config and such preferable, and dealing with a myriad of mail IP blacklists (good monitoring service for free: https://mxtoolbox.com/) all come into play.
You can host a Proton mail bridge to use different apps running on different machines, including phones.
Self hosting e-mail, particularly SMTP, will likely require a static IP from a reputable provider. Mail servers may reject incoming mail based on the reputation of the sending server. You can avoid this by relaying through another SMTP server and configuring your DNS rules to allow that server to send mail on your behalf, but that’s not really self hosting anymore.
I suggest stalwart mail, it can run in a binary or in docker, github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart also +1 for mailcow.
This is c/selfhosted. This is not the forum to ask for advice about email services you don’t directly control. There are some self-hosted options provided in the comments already. Locking this post to prevent further non-selfhosted discussions.
