Basically, the title. I have the domain, and have used it in the past with Google Workspace and MS365, but both of those services enshitified, so I'm looking for something that won't screw me.

Don't really care about things like password manager, VPN, cloud drive, etc. Just looking for email service for about 5 users that can be configured to work w/ native email clients on macos, windows, linux, iOS (so Proton & Tuta are out). Anyone have any experience with this? Really don't want to roll my own.

I migrated over to Proton last night before realizing that I had to set up the bridge for it to work on macos mail, and can only use the nativ client on mobile. So, trying to find something soon, so I can cancel within the 30-day period.

Has worked well for me, but keeping in mind that email is probably about the hardest thing to properly self host.

DMARC/DKIM/SPF/MX records have to be set up properly, DNS for auto config and such preferable, and dealing with a myriad of mail IP blacklists (good monitoring service for free: https://mxtoolbox.com/) all come into play.
