Better do your hometwork first - running your own email server can be
problematic - lack of reverse DNS is a show-stopper for many receiving
email servers (including ours).

You cannot run your own email server at home, .. don't know of a single
provider that will setup reverse DNS.

The simplest option would be to get a droplet for $5/mo, but I'm not sure
they will do reverse DNS; be sure to verify first.
