There are ways to get email to not bounce you just need to do a literal
tonne of reading. The things that I don't understand is why you always need
so many services to get email going in the first place.

There is a good solution I found called mail in a box
https://mailinabox.email/ but it forces you to run your own DNS server
which I'm not okay with that's too risky running your own DNS in my mind I
would prefer it to let me have the option to use Cloudflare or something.
