Several of my self hosted services need to be able to send minor occasional emails for things like changing passwords or other notifications.

I've never been interested in the hassle of self-hosting my personal email, since I've heard about it being difficult. But for my little local services to have one admin@ or noreply@ to send from, with just a small handful of friends and family as users, maybe it's simpler than a full personal email replacement would be? I'm not too concerned, for example, if they have to check their spam folders. As long as the email still lands. And probably wouldn't need to worry about incoming emails.

What are you using for this type of thing? Hoping to have something not too complicated, and FOSS.

Edit: I also would like it to come from ____@mydomain.com

If it does it will be the last thing it does

There was a thread yesterday praising Cloudflare, half the comments were pro- and half were anti-, every one had tons of up and down votes.

AirVPN and Windscribe are good options with port forwarding that aren't compromised (AFAIK)

Aside from self hosting something like NextCloud, you could also check out Cryptpad.fr
