>Email provider? Don't even think about it. The "big three" (gmail, outlook, yahoo) will not even accept delivery of emails from your domain, and happily mark all incoming as spam.
This is simply not true. Put your mail server(s) on an IP block that isn't blacklisted, make sure you have your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set up correctly, and that your ISP as a correct PTR record for your domain and you'll do just fine. It probably helps not to be on a consumer-grade ISP plan where they may block email ports.
There are FAR too many mail systems out there that don't belong to the 'big three' for them to block all of them without causing a mass exodus of their users.
You can even do all that as a complete nobody if you want to - I've been running my own mail server since the late 90s and never had a problem.
