I'm no expert but as i understood, it's the sending part that's tricky to get right. Lots of handshake to handle, all to probably end up in a spam folder or blocked along the way. But receiving from a publicly acknowledged address ? I think it's fairly simple
Even then, there are lots of edge cases with e-mail that are easy to get wrong and might become security risks.
I‘m not saying this applies to this project, this is more of a general concern.
