With self-hosting, you can do it but it takes time to get good reputation.

I have set https://github.com/postalserver/postal and there are many details you usually don't worry about, the cost involved is whatever server you pay for, still, this is more adequate when you want to send emails through an API, for normal usage patterns, AWS is cheaper and simpler to set up.

Anyone running Postfix should integrate Postal in front of it.

It's been a pain in the ass to even view what emails came and went with what volume, it will let you run event hooks as well and can integrate with rspamd as well and view each email's score as well.

Interface is very clean too.

I now use Postal Server for all my SaaS, which is self-hosted via docker, and has all those those features. The good thing is your maintain the IP reputation yourself and your not paying exorbitant prices when sending large volumes of transactional emails (really it's just the cost of the server you install it on).
