Yes I'm sending all my messages through SMTP2GO or Mailgun and never had any problems with emails going to the spam. Of course using a relay can be an issue when it comes to privacy, but I noticed that in my case I mainly receive emails with private information and only rarely send anything that could be used for tracking.
Which websites are you referring to? I never noticed any problems from the sites I use. Only when I encounter any kind of captcha I always have to manually select images and it will never solve itself like some did in the past. But not sure if thats due to me not being logged in with Google in my main browser or if it's caused by Honeygain.
But it looks like that only affects users of the Chrome Browser right?
99.95% spam
lol may I ask what you have to do to get that amount of spam? I at most get one spam mail per month to my server and I have some addresses listed as contact information on my public websites.
Is the prevailing advice still not to bother with self-hosting email?
I am hosting my own mail server for almost a year now and never had any issues with it. So I would recommend hosting one if you're really into admin and server stuff since many things are quite complex to setup and maintain securely. For outgoing emails I would recommend using smtp2go or Mailgun to make sure that your emails always get delivered and don't go to spam. Sending emails without a relay can be quite difficult and unreliable with some providers.

There are enough people that don't have the technical knowledge to host their own instance which happily pay Bitwarden to do so. If I host my own software and pay for the servers myself I'm not gonna pay a monthly fee just to be able to use the software. Maybe a one time payment, but definitely no subscription.
