Well done! I tried again last week (3rd try) and gave up when I realised I would need a static ip to get myself off spam blocklists
You're better off using a hosting service where they allow you to change your PTR records. A static IP is the very beginning of your problems, you will likely be unable to send traffic on port 25 because residential ISPs block it.
If you really want control of your email server on your own network you can set up an SMTP relay using a hosting service and configure your local mail server to use it.
Here's something to get your started: https://community.mailcow.email/d/1275-the-ultimate-guide-to-run-your-own-smtp-relay-server
Nah I'm out bro. Hosting plenty of stuff already and email is pretty critical
