I am self-hosting my email. It's a pain in the ass, but software like mox[1] help on keeping things easier. The most tedious part is to setup correctly SPF, DKIM and DMARC and ensure that your IP will be whitelisted.

How do you protect your server? Any guides there?

I have a FW provided by my provider, but I am not enforcing it too much.

For SSH access, I have fail2ban + access only via certificates. For the rest, I have disabled web access and APIs as I don't need them.

I also keep an eye on logs, but there is not too much there, besides some bots scanning for open relays
