Mailservers
| Have you selfhosted anything before? Setting up and especially maintaining a mailserver is incredibly time consuming, especially when it's from scratch. Here's some project which might help with that though:

companies with their own mail server either hire a full time mail admin, or they get hacked. mail is very, annoyingly difficult and nobody can explain all of it to you. If you want your own custom email address, register an account on cock.li (or gmail) and register your domain on improvmx
| Maintaining a mailserver is quite challenging actually. There are many things that the server will need to withstand when exposed to the wild internet out there visible for all the world to reach, in a way.
There are a lot of things to think about beforehand too. Will your server be the MX host, or you will use a MX gateway/relay? If yes how much do you trust it, considering ALL your emails will pass through it? Will you support ssl/tls transport? And other decisions like these.
| I've heard Zimbra is good. I've only tried the hard way, using Postfix. I just looked up some videos on YouTube for Postfix, also used digital ocean. You will want to look up some additional things on securing it, because they only go into basics and whatnot.
Don't listen to the haters that say it's hard, well it is but it's something you need if you want to grow.
