Unfortunately, that doesn’t work anymore. Even assuming you have the technical skill to avoid making your server into a spam relay the moment it’s turned on. Which itself isn’t easy, even for seasoned IT people.
The major providers are Google, Outlook, and Yahoo. Even if you don’t use one of those, you’re going to be sending to people who do. To combat spam, they check your domain and see if it has a track record of not being a spammer. A brand new domain on a brand new host has no way of establishing that track record, and the email will bounce.
You can get a track record by hosting your domain under an existing service. There’s no way to bootstrap it on your own anymore.
I need an alternative to gmail for creating new email accounts. Any ideas?
Tuta (formerly Tutanota) has worked well for me.
Get a cheap hosting plan. You’ll get a domain, several mailboxes and you can mess around with services like Nextcloud

Just get a domain from a normal provider. It will work.
you seem to have me confused with the IT linux wizard type lemmy. I didn’t even understand half of that sentence
OutLook? I’m still rocking my Hotmail address LOL
