@pfaffman very helpful, thank you. So putting aside netcore (aka pepipost) i- it sounds like you are saying if we want:

- email sending
- bounce management
- reply handling

Regardless of if we use mailgun, sengrid, etc. - we have to [Configure direct-delivery incoming email for self-hosted sites with Mail-Receiver](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-direct-delivery-incoming-email-for-self-hosted-sites-with-mail-receiver/49487) - is that correct? You say the ‘easiest’ way, so I’m curious are there other ways?

Again really appreciate the response, we were/are blocked on this now going on a few days…
