I believe the prevailing sentiment is that it is a challenging task,
requiring significant expertise.
I was going to write something countering this sentiment, until it

me that there is only one person I know within 200 miles of me that I
could
ask to facilitate my wife's email access after I'm no longer vertical,
and am
not maintaining the email server.
Broadening that out, it is arguable that the sort of bespoke crafted
email service that many of us here provide for friends and family and in
some casses professionally is impossible to reproduce at scale because
the properly skilled headcount can't exist. There will never be the
millions of trained and experienced admins that would be needed.
If we will never get the oligopoly to staff an Al Iverson or Michael
Rathbun for every 2k or 5k or even 50k mailboxes we need to think
differently about what is expected of them.
