Building MTA by yourself is a matter of minutes. However, if you don't send out your emails, there will be a lot of problems. SPF, PTR, DOMAIN KEY, RBL, GREEN CHANNEL, Finger Print, ENCODING, a pile of Policy - lots of  things you're going to address. Use a professional mail provider instead of bothering yourself

Don't build your own mail server
you can try to  find other companies when you  feel mailgun is  expensive. Many cloud service providers offer such services.you know,like Amazon ECS

poste.io , deploy a Docker to run and it would be fast
If DKIM / SPF is configured right,no any letter would be in  the junk mail box. Although there are many issues, they are not as scary as those people said above.
