> to rolling and hosting my own email server for the family.  What's

I use own mail server for some years (5 or so), using exim (+ rspamd
now) and dovecot (+ xapian FTS & roundcube) on Debian Linux, which
starts for one user only, but then some friends and family members want
account too and now are satisfied, without any issues with
deliverability of emails, even to big providers, which are know to be
restrictive (Microsoft & Google in my case).

Having own server gives more privacy, as one don't need to share info
with email providers and proves great possibilities to customize SPAM
filter, as here is only small number of users.

But, on other side, one have to have some knowledge in nowadays email's
word, as properly deal with PTR, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, TLS, etc. And
requires some knowledge. And one must be prepared to attacks - i deal
with ongoing distributed login attack for more than 8 months, and today
i am under some SPAM bomb attack, with about 2000 (yet) attempts to
send the same scam email to (existing & not existing) users from "their"
address. Another tasks, which one have to do includes monitoring,
backups, regular security upgrades and other standard admin things.

If you have not enough enthusiasm and/or knowledge to play with it, stay
with some provider...

But when you are brave (and IMO one have to) to do it itself, do not
worry, it is not as hard (while it is not setup and forget) as it is
described by some email providers in its PR articles and one cat get
great experience and privacy, with full customization to own needs.

When you abandon ClamAV idea, you do not need to worry about server
power and for small amount of users (emails) can be managed even on very
cheap hardware (i even starts it on Raspberry Pi 2, but that was bad
idea).
