As I said in my original message, everyone talks about how Linode (or any platform) is terrible, but nobody makes positive suggestions.
It does rather say something about the *concept* of running a mail system on a "cloud" platform in general.
One broad strategy in the fight against spam has been to intentionally make it difficult to stand up a high-functioning mail system quickly. This is a direct attack on the longstanding spammer tactic of abandoning 'burnt' domains, IPs, etc. once they get noticed by reputation services and switching to unsullied resources. Any service provider that allows new users to stand up a new VM with unrestricted outbound port 25 access without human oversight and gatekeeping is going to be abused and is going to be noticed as a source of trouble.
Running your own mail system in 2022 is not usually a smart choice. The providers whose network space is not broadly shunned are those who will cost more and will try to talk you out of running your own mail system on their networks.
