I've recently been trying to degoogle myself, and in doing so I'm going to need another email. I tried ProtonMail, but apparently only business accounts can use SMTP, even though their features claim SMTP access. I'm plenty fine paying for the service, but going from the $6/month to $12/month just to get notification emails from my server doesn't seem worth it to me. I've not looked into what all else comes with Proton's Business features, but i'm not really running a business or trying to start one up.

What do you use? do you like it? How's the cost/features?

Upvote for mailcow. It's a classic postfix+dovecot email stack with lots of stuff figured out for you already. I host on a cheap vps that supports SRV records so rDNS passes, and then I still route my outgoing mail through Mailgun for better IP reputation. At my low (normal) mailing levels Mailgun is free.
