I'm a small-business owner, running a small number of private domains for a small number of users. Outbound traffic from all accounts is currently less than 10 items per day. We don't send any transactions in bulk, send very few transactional/notification emails, and UCE never comes from here. I need to spend time on my business and infrastructure without having to deal with artificial email issues imposed by others. I think everyone here knows the pain.
With such low volume, you will really struggle to get email delivered to the larger mailbox providers, whose filtering is largely based on reputation. It's almost impossible to build up (and maintain) a reputation unless you can manage at least O(hundreds) of messages to them per day.
I'm looking for a cloud host where I can run my legitimate mail servers with minimal concern for lists and IPv4 address issues. I need a hosting partner that doesn't block SMTP for clients who can prove reputability; a host recognized for not allowing or tolerating bad actors; a host with assertive, pro-active Abuse staff who strive to prevent issues rather than just responding casually when they occur; a host that isn't subject to class-C/L3 blocks. (Please let's keep this focused on solutions, lists, tech details, or incidents. Thanks.)
I've had a VM at Mythic Beasts doing mail for several years. They're rock solid and all my interactions with them have been very positive. I don't have any stake in them other than as a happy customer. They're a little more expensive than the bottom dollar you'd pay at e.g. Hetzner or Vultr, but I don't mind paying for good service.
