    The risk is that the IP will get banned AFTER you start sending out mail from it because it has zero reputation… IT happened to me too and it took months, if not years, to get it definitely cleared. And if you neighbour with a similar IP get infected and start spamming, it’s all over again. This is the main issue with residential IPs, it’s a very real issue.

    To get around it, rent a VPS with a non residential IP and front the mail server there, with tunnels (wireguard+nft) back to your home mail server, so at least the public facing IP is good or has less risks or being blacklisted.
