Nah, I definitely wouldn't say "notoriously" difficult. There's some
out there that are generally annoying, but Postfix and Exim aren't too
bad. There's plenty of guides out there to help you learn. It's a large
experience of just reading documentation and figuring out minor things
to get it right.

I have a guide on my website[1] for setting up Postfix that is secure.
If you google, you'll find many more for different configurations[2].
Use them as guides and review the documentation on the proper
Postfix/Exim/etc websites and man pages.

My next steps with that guide is to setup Maildrop as my MDA and add in
SpamAssassin into the mix with DKIM.

I suppose, TL;DR would be: It's not THAT hard. You just gotta find it
interesting, heh.
