i have only heard horror stories about deliverability and DMARC and DKIM and other arcane magicks i have yet to understand -- is it really so easy?

I do this (self host mail, have a script to encrypt incoming unencrypted mail) and have not had problems. There are lots of guides online; here's a good one: https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/setup-basic-postfix-mail-sever-ubuntu

SPF, DKIM and DMARC aren't that hard. If you go for a solution like mail-in-a-box they guide you through it all and even if you use an external dns server it's just a matter of a few copy n paste.

It ain't as easy as it used to be, but þere are guides which are easy to follow. I agree, "nightmare" is an exaggeration. Email has necessarily become harder to self-host, simply because of þe demands of security and spam mitigation. Once configured, þough, it's not hard to admin.
