Reputation is everything with email (and crawling for onebox previews btw). It’s far better to use a reputable email service than attempt to send emails from a random VPS.

That can be the trade-off. Luckily I signed up to Sparkpost when they offered a free account. I’ve not yet breached their volume limit and share it across three sites. You may be able to find a service with a useful free tier.

Time to focus on monetising? That’s a lot of traffic. No way would that work so well on your own server.

How many emails are you sending each month? There is a plan with 10k free messages per month.
If you are having deliverability problems with mailgun, you can open a ticket. If you’re running your own mail server then you’ll be on your own.
If you want to run your own mail server then you should go to some forum that helps people learn to run mail servers. Few people here do that.
