It's not a pain, but does require some setup. You want to make sure you
don't allow SMTP relay from outside of your network. If you do, you need
some kind of SMTP auth so people can't route email through your server.

There's email security now that if not set up, will result in many mail
hosts routing your mail to SPAM. you'll want to read up on SPF, DKIM and
DMARC.

I use a tool called mxtoolbox.com to help set up the DNS records you'll
need for the security settings.

You may want to set up secondary MX somewhere, so if your system is
down, another system will accept mail for you and pass it on when you
come back up.

So, maybe Google Workspace is the easier choice.   :)
