I tried maybe 15 years ago and it went about as well as you'd expect for back then. But I'm starting to get the itch again.

Have any of you tried relatively recently? How impossible is it to get reliable deliverability to gmail and whatnot these days?

I host my own via Hetzner VPS and Mailcow. I use SMTP2GO as an outbound relay so I don't have to worry about IP reputation issues. It's all very straight-forward, no issues to speak of. I use unique aliases for each account, so spam is a non-issue as well. If an alias gets leaked I just shut it down, no more spam.
