Hi, I recommend you read the book “Run Your Own Mail Server”. The fact that a book exists for this topic is all the proof you need to not do this decision. But if you absolutely must, this is the way.

Don't do that
too late.
friends dont let friends host email. its just become too top heavy (complexity-wise) if you want it to be fully functional and secure.
How can I have reliable email that I can control, then?
You should be aware that a large number of mail hosters will block all mail from your server merely because it is sent from a dynamic IP address.
Meh that sucks i even have a perfectly working ddns, I mean I know I don't get something like a PTR record but i wish that mail hosters would allow for more self hosting options
