You correctly focus on one of the core issues: deliverability. Which is a
moving target and requires time and effort to address - no one should be
running their own mailserver anymore. (I've done it professionally - and I
wouldn't recommend that either -- too much pain.)

Hi folks,
Tell me if posting question like this is out of bounds. I’m still relatively
new to Linux—but I’m managing my own servers. I’m running Debian 9 and working
in PHP. The application I’m working on needs to be able to send emails. PHP
requires an MTA to be installed for its mail() function to work. I’ve
installed SendMail, but I’m getting lost in what documentation I have found for
configuration.
I’m wondering what people are using for an MTA and how you are solving the
problem of mail servers junking your emails (because they don’t trust the
source). My thought here is to use one of my email providers (Comcast,
GoDaddy, or Gmail) for the SMTP service. But that means configuring the MTA to
do that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ron Lawrence
